Mgalekgolo?
Had to google that.
The hunters. o:
Oh wow I had no idea that's how they worked.
Snowden posted something interesting
"If you want to see what a politician is truly saying, remove the irrelevant emotional terms."
Sorry, bit of a nerd
Also that is interesting
I imagine that applies to anything
Kevin Bolk made me vigilant to clickbait
emotional terms like what?
Pokemon go to the polls?
"Never trust an article that tells you what you're about to think about it."
heres another edgy wiselord quote
Any headline with a question can be answered with "No" or something
Doesn’t Tim use that?
yeah
Beatrice's Law of Headlines or something its called
Betteridge*
I realize the more laws we make, the more they backfire, but
Clickbait headlines are a scourge.
They need to fuck off.
God, yes those "you'll be astonished by" and "and why that's a good thing" headlines immediately make me want to disagree, and I never get to find out if I actually disagree because I refuse to give them my click
And you'll never believe what happened next.
You'll never believe a clickbait headline again!

@Dr.Wol What I was saying was.. Clickbait is such a HAZARD, I could see the argument for outlawing them.
I bet I can: You got halfway through the article and a video started autoplaying and following your scroll and it's not even related to the article
But then I'd also realize "Wow enforcement would be a fucking disaster."
clickbait isn't a hazard,
People should just know better
People are busy.
I'm wise to all the shit now because I've spent so much time in the atmosphere.
if you wanna outlaw the construction of sentences, you need to re-examine your priorities 😦
exactly,
People should learn to avoid it
and if they don't, thats just natural selection
They should, but they don't/won't/can't.
Its like these trigger warnings etc
Well, how is it natural selection..?
When their ignorance gets to thrive?
It's not like those of us wise to this nonsense are the ones awarded with riches and babies.
When you coddle them by keeping away false headlines
people won't know it when it happens again
and they'll believe it
