That's some bunk methodology right there. Perhaps you could explain to us why the top 25 articles on reddit as a whole reflect data on journalism and outrage culture?
Of course r/aww isn't going to have a lot of outrage: it isn't journalism or journalism adjacent. You might want to read the article... it isn't talking about outrage in the missed connections section of craiglist. The article is talking mostly in the context of news and disinformation on the internet.
I recommend you browse top posts in any news related subreddit to get a better idea about manufactured conflict on reddit.
- Pfhreak 7y ago> It’s basically every other popular post on Reddit that isn’t a cat picture or joke Top is the most popular reddit posts, one assumes. I was pointing out that the parent comment was trivially false but presented as fact.
- nullstyle 7y agoI was pointing out that your interpretation of the GP was IMO uncharitable given how you interpreted breadth and structure of reddit. You deny seeing "the outrage", but you've now had multiple people point you to instances of where it concentrates and appears. Perhaps your own personal experiences on the internet aren't representative. Maybe an hour long video essay will explain the concept and convince you of its existence a little bit better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36nsq2Apods https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36nsq2Apods
- dmix 7y agoI specifically mention “that isn’t a cat picture or joke” which implies as the other person mentioned, the news and political subreddits which are some of the most popular subreddits. Even the sports and cultural news ones are full of outrage.
