Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics
SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoI’m not just being lazy; I’m providing justification for my laziness. We should be calling out clickbaiters and other manipulators, not taking them as part and parcel to online discourse

But your “justification” is based on feels…
The article goes into great detail supporting the substance of the title, meaning it’s not click bait or manipulation.
You are the one attempting to manipulate people by claiming that the title is something it’s not.

I think you mean to say, my “feels” are based on justification!
Btw abortions rock, I’m responsible for my fair share, but I think using clickbaiting as a weapon is bad, even when it’s for good causes. There’s a reason we have the Jenova Convention, after all

Is English your second language?
I dont think that’s the brag you seem to think it is?
You haven’t explained how you think this is click bait… Something doesn’t automatically become click bait, just because you think it’s over an excitable topic. That would make all headlines click bait, based on the subjectivity of the observer.
“something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest”
Lol, it’s like I’m talking to an AI that’s done way too many whippits.
The geneva convention, is an agreement pertaining to how soldiers interact with civilians during times of conflict. It has nothing to do with what we’re talking about.

Maybe, but it’s the spirit of things, you know? Sometimes you’ve gotta trust your guts, fellow human. But why support influencers?
