> You only opt-in to the Internet of Beefs driven by a sincere grievance if you are mook enough to want to. If you aren’t, and you haven’t fallen into the IoB by becoming vulnerable or compromised in some way, you are there either because you’ve been baited in, or because you are profiting from its existence. I'm profiting from its existence. Beefs are good for engagement. Although I do sometimes wonder why it so often happens to me. Maybe my takes are more controversial. Maybe it's because I simplify things so the barrier to disagreement is much lower. Although I do disagree with the 'end of history' argument. Humans have always been like this. Just look at Jon Ronson's book 'So You Have Been Publicly Shamed'. People were always terrible. The only difference is now we have the technology to gang up on anyone using the internet.
