The poor man’s clickbait known as youtube is drowning in this nightmare as users like to describe news/political clips as “John DESTROYS Doe!” and Im guilty of re-watching some of those trying to understand where exactly the destroying takes place only to realize the person who posted it probably watched less two minutes, baited, and successfully brought in idiots like me.
Technology is leading us back to the stone age where the source of “all politics is local” can be traced to its origins. Engagement without reliability is the inherent suicide tick of the clickbait strategy but as populations explode there will be enough commerce to keep both alive. The trick will be avoiding the orgy.
