So, how does having it be "available as 'news'", behind an intentional click or two for those who feel they want or even "need" to know, affect your online diet? Can't you just pass it over without clicking, like with the hundreds/thousands of other offered-but-unwanted links one encounters in daily web/app usage?

"Intentional" .... It was beneath the top trending hashtag on twitter. Initially, it was absolutely not obvious what the video was that kept appearing. Sometimes it would auto play. Obviously rapidly it became clear what was going on ... and then it was a basic game to escape ... and then to just switch off social media. Honestly ... there are some f@cking weird questions asked about this subject on HN. Do you mind if I ask your age and general location? I'm really curious.
