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

Most of these sites seem to be dying and this level of clickbait is just their death knell as they spiral further down into irrelevancy

better to let them know false headlines exist so they can make up their minds

Hopefully something better can rise from the ashes

Its like trigger warnings,

If you block "clickbait" by law,

Soon you'll have people screetching in a fetal position because of some headline that got through

"You made a No-no headline! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Yeah, I'm not comfortable with any sanctions being placed by the government on what the media is allowed to report.

Sounds too succeptible to corruption, or just poorly thought out legislature

There have to be ashes first.

We need more Hulk Hogan cases.

Seeing gawker's properties being passed around like a hot potato while everyone sees their brand recognition but fails to monetize it is the purest of schadenfreud

Heres the issue

If people believe in lies, they become ignorant of the subject and will only be manipulated with what they believe
If you censor the world, they become ignorant of the world, and can have their beliefs manipulated

either way, you'll have stupid people

Suppose we just hang the former head of gawker from a streetlight.

Just hang him, straight up.

Also it's a question of *who* is allowed to decide what's censored. What I think would be good to censor is different from what others would, so who am I to say what's right, and why would I trust that what they say is right?

you're asking the difference between

What is True
and What is Fact

How does quality control get encouraged when BULLSHIT makes all the money?

It takes time for the bullshit to ruin society, but it CLEARLY HAS

I don't think there's an easy answer here

society needs its ups and downs

If society gets ruined, the weak will die off, and the strong build a better society

Well I'd be considered weak.

@Dr.Wol you were referring to
"If a headline ends with a question mark, it can be answered with 'No.'"

yes i was abe

I'm not misinformed. But I am weak. I'm very poor.

@Dr.Wol you were referring to
"If a headline ends with a question mark, it can be answered with 'No.'"

I'm a good person who enjoys the truth, and spreading it. But I'd die with this wave we speak of.

So is that really the solution?

how so?

are you gonna cry for mommy when you see a trigger warning?
