- frockington 8y agoMisusing the term Gilded Age is becoming more prevalent recently within the inequality narrative. I'm guessing The Gilded Age was shown to produce more clicks and why let facts get in the way of clicks
- jimbofisher1 8y agoYeah bro Buzzfeed is totally doing AB tests on Article Headlines about Income Inequality.
