Anthony C. Bartman@TheBreadmonkey Pretty much sums up the state of America. The people who have the most controversial opinions get the most attention.
They know how rage bait works.
lefthandmonki@lefthandmonki @TheBreadmonkey it works elsewhere. Just because it's not happening on mastodon doesn't mean it's not happening elsewhere.
My point being, it’s not a general rule. Rage bait works on those other platforms because they are designed in a way to make it work. It’s a choice made by the owners. And whose rage gets amplified is also their choice.
@lefthandmonki @TheBreadmonkey indeed because it makes money. Rage bait is profitable.
