How did supposedly intellectual people ever conclude that we should use the word "slam" on the daily in headlines?
It's straight out of Idiocracy and I will never get used to it.
Ragebait gets more clicks.
Well yes, obviously. My question is more about how they pretend it's not just ragebait.
Very simple, they learned not to care and the ones who did care got weeded out.
Intellectual? Shit, that doesn’t pay.
Unless you're lucky enough to get tenure, or stumble upon a fact of the universe that no one knew and just happens to be relevant to a modern economy.
