Click Bait 0

David Evans, writing at Psychology Today Blogs, comments on the monetization of anger. A nugget:

Marketers, representing a wide variety of different corporate and political backgrounds, want potential customers or followers to click on their sites. And they’ve discovered that the best way to guarantee a click is to make sure their site arouses emotion.

And the best emotion for guaranteeing a favorable click is anger.

So, marketers, political organizations, and corporations have a financial stake in getting you angry!

It makes them money. The more people who click on their site, the more they can charge the advertisers who advertise with them.

And the things they post on their sites don’t even have to be true!

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
