futurism .com links often seem like clickbait for people who are skeptical of the broligarchy.
I'm all for covering that side of the story - we need a lot more resistance against the oligarchy. But clickbait is sleazy no matter what story it's pretending it can tell.
Sleazy propaganda is sleazy propaganda even if it's in my favor.
Yeah, Futurism's presentation is always overly dramatic and clickbaity. I end up learning more by clicking on the embedded links in the articles than the articles themselves.
And that’s why it’s always best to post the original source, not a repost with a warped headline.
TBH, if this gets worse, I’d like for /c/technology to enforce that as a rule.
I agree - they do usually cite their sources well, even if they are presented in an over-the-top fashion. I appreciate the citations.
