“These people used as much visual manipulation as they could cram into this photo/title to get people to click on it. It’s the fault of those being manipulated that it’s being clicked on”
You’ve got a point. However I believe a good amount of people are intelligent enough to see through the ruse, yet endulge in it, in a fastfood kind of way. Oh, I don’t know. Don’t read into it too much, I’m just ranting a bit, because I find the whole thing annoying.
No worries, I agree that it’s annoying. But it’s the algorithm that makes that all but inevitable, it’s not a failure of any individual or group of individuals. It’s the failure of capitalism, tbh.
I’m neurodivergent, so I’m already parsing language in a strange way. So, when I come across this type of contradictory statements, I like to point them out.

At least we stopped blaming rape victims, but we still need to blame scammers for the scum that they are.
