it's acutely uncomfortable to have an article in one's face that comes from an opposing sector There are plenty of respected neo/conservative outlets (or as Quillette calls itself, "centrist"); I don't think this framing is right. The Economist gets onto the front page of HN frequently, and they're the first to admit they're in the center of the spectrum. https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2013/09/02/is-the-economist-left-or-right-wing https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2013/09/02/... The Wall Street Journal does as well, and they not only are openly conservative, but also controlled by the same man who runs FOX News. Quillette, however, seems to be based on airing rage-bait. If you look at the front page of it, there are two types of article: first-person storytelling using deliberately inflammatory and confrontational wording and structure, and articles on trends that use the same, covered elsewhere less-controversially. There are thousands of outlets covering the beats that Quillette does, including many outlets on the same side as Quillette, and most of those outlets don't get the same outrage that Quillette does, because Quillette's concern seems to lie with working social media outrage into mass viewership. When headlines are filled with phrases like "Brave New World" and "the Decline of Excellence" and article previews stuffed with things like "manufactured rape crisis," it's apparent that they're aiming for outrage marketing rather than articles that can stand on their own merits. While I'm not sure what the solution is, I think editorializing the titles of certain Quillette articles might help.
