    Yeah, I could, but it’s a perfectly valid line of conversation to critique a post’s title. There’s a reason we have the saying, “Always judge a book by its cover, and judge a response by it’s grammar”

      I don’t think laziness is a valid line of criticism. I also find it strange to critique a title separate from its intended context.

      we have the saying, “Always judge a book by its cover, and judge a response by it’s grammar”

      I don’t think that’s a very common idiom. It seems to imply that pedantry is more important than substance.

        It seems to imply that pedantry is more important than substance.

        It’s certainly more common; I mean, we’re on a social media platform that incentivises it.

        For the vast majority of people DooM scrolling these days, they want a quick dopamine hit. And influencers want those upvotes in quantity, not quality.

        Knowing that the defacto message of a given post is its headline, we need to have a conversation about proper standards and dark patterns.

        Click baiting isn’t the kind of baiting for which I came to the internet, and it doesn’t keep me coming again, so why put up with it?

  Because right now’s political climate is about how abortion is being billed en masse as murder, and people are having to go to other states to get abortions, so the states that bill abortion as murder want to be able to prosecute the women. So there are a lot of fears that states will be tracking women through tools like this, and it turns out the fearful were correct.
