Let’s get this straight; “Chasing clicks” is not inherently bad. And clickbait, aka outrageous headlines, is also not inherently bad. The NYT and virtually any other pub with more than 30 employees has some1 works on shaping content based on traffic data. And that’s ok.
And there’s also a place in the world for just stupid, funny, gossipy stuff. TMZ, WorldStar, barstool. I LOVE IT. It’s mostly clickbait. That’s great because it’s funny. Same with huffpo, briebart, or buzzfeed. Yes. They’re clickbait and outrage driven. But that’s not insult
The issue, though, is when people pass off their opinion as “news reporting”. The difference is that you know that in going to TMZ/etc. you’re getting a specific kind of content and are consciously opting in!
I agree
It's true that all approaches are great for business but not ]for civil discourse or a healthy society. Like I'm sure if we opened a Coliseum and televised people fighting to the death with swords and shields, it would get great ratings. But do we want to live in that world?
I mean, I LOVE the ufc. But many this this site is clickbait: https://boingboing.net/ I’d hardly say a story of a man sneak in the engine area of a jet for a free ride = bad for others
