I've also seen scummy tactics like changing the headline to be less "clickbaity" some timeframe after the article is released. Then there's also the disgusting tactic from news companies on social media like Twitter where they post the same article multiple times to spam it across people's feeds throughout the day. I think wide adoption of social media is the cancer that destroyed great journalism the world over.

>I've also seen scummy tactics like changing the headline to be less "clickbaity" some timeframe after the article is released. Now that you mention it, just recently I began noticing how some news publications in my country do this, especially on interviews or opinion pieces. They'll put a seemingly outrageous, absolutely out of context quote by the interviewee or the author on the headline, only to modify it a couple of hours later. >I think wide adoption of social media is the cancer that destroyed great journalism the world over. I agree. I'd even go on to say that social media--with the necessary aid of smartphones--has amplified all the negative aspects of capitalism and globalisation, in general.
