nobody reads the headline because the headline is often just wrong, or flat out lying to you.
Nobody reads the contents of the article because 90% of the time it’s just blabbering on about how social media was in 2009, or how their grand mother used to make cookies, or how printing is so annoying because the ink ALWAYS seems to be running out.
Rather than actually fucking talking about the topic on hand. Not to mention all the ads and placements that are put over this shit, the ad block blocker pop ups, the paid services like the NYT forcing you into not reading it at all “because you’ve used your reading quota for the month” The sheer amount of fucking time it takes to load what is basically just HTML text on a background, but it isn’t because it uses JS because fuck you i guess.
The internet is incredibly hostile these days. It’s impossible to do something on it without a door to door salesman pestering you every fucking step of the way.
the title doesn’t explain shit. Sure it’s a “tool for election integrity observer” but that’s barely an explanation. Incredibly broad. Can still be a lot of things. Sounds as if Facebook is guarding the entire election
What is CrowdTangle
Well it says in the title, so….
We are at the point where people don’t even read the entire headline.
We’re at the point of what?

CrowdTangle is Meta’s tool for election integrity, they’re shutting it down without a replacement.
I read the title but that barely says anything. It’s extremely broad
Don’t encourage the behaviour. As the saying goes… Give a man a fish and you’ve fed him for a day… Teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for life.
I literally rearranged the headline wording
👍 Precisely.
Or to quote Terry Pratchett:
Give a man a fire and he’ll be warm for a day; set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
