BONOMINATOR said.."The rise of creator media has been a boon for those who peddle bull****, as bias and bull**** are core features of what wins our attention on social media.
It turns out that when you migrate our entire news media ecosystem on to platforms that map on to our emotional wiring, you are inadvertently building Karl’s podcast. To be successful in this attention economy, the platforms have decided that anger, outrage and controversy rules. That negative attention counts as much as positive engagement. That one must act like a cancelled free speech warrior, even when one may not be. In other words, it’s the algorithms, stupid."

People are sick of leftard BS from the guardian, ABC, channel 9,10,7,sbs the AFL the NRL, every newspaper, the conversation and MSN.
Btw your guardian article seems to be focusing on "negative attention" as much as every other platform.
I think the guardian and all other established msm platforms are feeling like their business models are under threat from podcasters and other independant journalists,
Listening to the guardian bleat about the algorithm like its some sort of biased overlord dragging people away is rubbish. The algorithm works the same way for the left as it does for right.
