Subs like this should have a rule against clickbait bullshit like that anyway. Mention Trump, Taytay and Mark Hamill in the headline, and yet leave out any information from the Tweet itself. As if a Tweet from years ago is fucking news in any case.
The internet is a cesspool of sensationalist nothing.
My dude, if you think this level of superficial bullshit is new in any way, you might want to brush up on your history. This kind of nonsense goes back centuries.
Obviously it isn’t new, but it’s important to point out so people can acknowledge it and work to avoid engaging in it in the future. Periodically engaging in this content is fine, that’s why we had tabloids, but old companies that specifically worked in journalism that have been bought and re-aligned with tabloid-esque behaviour is because we are willing to click on it.
A few less clicks and more reflection on the things we click can go a long way, in my opinion.
You raise absolutely valid points, but the obvious counterargument to your point is that serious journalism still exists. Tabloid click bait nonsense has been around since the printing press, and serious journalism has still existed throughout all of it. To say that “news agencies don’t cover real news anymore” is hardly different than the pearl-clutching nonsense from the very same tabloids you’re railing against.
I’m not trying to defend this schlock, just reassuring that quality journalism is under no threat of actually dying. As long as there are people who want to be heard, they’ll find a way to be heard.
His potential re-election is both obvious and concerning.
A celebrity with no formal education or experience in politics, geopolitics or law has no place speaking on it to the public. Opinions are fine, but people on the whole seem to be unable to make clear in their own minds that the opinions of a celebrity are opinions wholly based on their personal purview and not professional experience.
Everyone that clicked on this article please be aware that we are the problem behind why news agencies don’t cover real news anymore.
Jokes on you, I only read the comments!
Same, but even our interest in other peoples views on the topic at hand contributes to the superficial topic getting more views
Good thing I never click the articles.

Never read the article and go straight to the comment section gang wins again 😎
I don’t even go to the comments. I just form an opinion based on my 3 favorite words in the post title.

If you don’t think Trump’s potential re-election isn’t THE news story of the year, I don’t know what you think real news is.

But what Mark Hamill thinks about Taylor Swifts tweet about him isn’t.
