Yup, using "you" in headlines is a pattern that needs to die. I get that it's attention-grabbing, but it's because it's rude. You don't know anything about me

Yup, using "you" in headlines is a pattern that needs to die.
I get that it's attention-grabbing, but it's because it's rude.
You don't know anything about me. You don't know what I think or what I already know or what I won't believe.
I know it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it's just one of those little aggravating things that makes life just a little bit worse each time you come across them.
- robswc 2y agoThe one I hate the most is: "X thing did Y, here's why Z" Where X and Y can range from meaningless to national security but Z always remains an opinion (usually uninformed too). Just search "here's why that's bad/good" on google news and there's so much "slop."
- jjtheblunt 2y ago"you" in headlines is better said, a better criterion for skippable articles, agreed! good point
