Not your parent comment and not blaming the media for giving people what they want (especially since the media has trained consumers not to pay for news) That said, this argument of giving people what they want is a weird one. It is like taking the easiest and the laziest route to profit. Also, there is a not insignificant population that still wants facts and not click baity nonsense. But media churns out click baits because it is easier and faster.
