i'm clicking on things just to get mad
this is a rare post for me to make.
lately i'm seeing a lot of rage bait. and i get it. it generates clicks. i mean, it works on me. i get baited into the rage every time. a part of me even gets excited when i see a bearblog post starting with, "re:". it's just like, oooo what's the drama now?
and this isn't just limited to bearblog. i see it on reddit. and snapchat. sometimes on fedi. i don't really see it on instagram, because i curate my feed to be very directed to my niche interests.
i guess getting mad at things is a universal interest.
this is why i try to stay away from trending, but it's just so tempting. but i'm trying to spend less time mad. trying not to click on the obvious posts that tries to generate some outrage. but i don't know. that dopamine hit just hits too good.
