For example, that Times ad that has been doing the rounds, along with the other rags (let's face it, even traditional broadsheets are now no better than the gutter press).
Latest one, Gen Z men want their wives to be subservient.
This is complete shite, riding on the back of US politics and divisive influencers. it serves no other purpose than to make men more isolated, and women incensed. The result? Attention (£££).
Would love to see how they propose such a sentiment might pan out here in the UK, since there's a rather weak connection to patriarchal religion in British culture, and barely any man alive now would know what a subservient wife should even look like. Surely the Times isn't attempting to weaken our trust in financial independency and equality laws? No. They just want us to fucking fume about it and click on their crap.
I pretty much avoid news media these days as much as I can, I don't listen to news or use their websites, but it manages to sneak in via ads wherever you go.
The attention economy is close to the bottom of the barrel already, and I can't imagine how it can even get any lower. Rage bait is everywhere, lowering mood, creating suspicion, and promoting a feeling of general hopelessness. God forbid having some optimism.
Obviously, i didn''t click it, but it still got a rise out of me, the turds.
