It would be interesting to see whether people think news networks also harm their mental health.
- Applejinx 5y agoOnce Facebook's got through with them, I'm sure people do think that. Quite aside from the deterioration of that medium, there's been good money in helping nefarious actors poison that well.
- ArtDev 5y agoYes but I have found that, in the case of Google News, the content prioritized up by the algorithm tends to be things I am interested in; which tend to be more commercial in nature. For example, boardgames. If I was clicking on outrageous type news headlines, it might look different. I have disciplined my curiosity to not click on obnoxious viral headlines. I see a click as a vote, so I don't do that. Social Media is trickier because the media and the social part is mixed up. I quit social media about 7 months ago and I don't see going back.
