The fact that ragebait is the most effective way to drive engagement (and therefore to make money off of a captive audience) feels like the first falling domino that sunk us into our current predicament. Certainly the Murdoch empire made its fortune that way.

The other children are also cowards for not taking the legal fight over the inheritance of Fox equity to the limit.
