  THIS LOOKS SLOPPED
  I CAN TELL FROM SOME OF THE PIXELS
  AND FROM SEEING QUITE A FEW SLOPS IN MY TIME

Does that mean that this creator is turning my outrage at rage bait creators into _their_ paycheck?

it’s not just “creators”, our news cycle depends on this.

algorithm-driven social media amplifies this nonsense. I had to cut myself out of all social media because I found myself unreasonably angry every day. this new cycle and social media cycle was literally poisoning my life.

it’s not like we didn’t have negative news or negative stories or flame bait back in the days of usenet, but it was easier to escape. Now, with all the TikTok and Twitter/X and Facebook embeds, it’s not only impossible to escape, it literally follows you around now.

The only way to win is not to play at all.
