Wow, what a read Felicia!
“…it’s a world of many hustlers, and you are the mark. The con is to build a brand off the backs of others…Every decision a publisher makes is ruled by one dictum: ‘traffic by any means.’…A click is a click and a pageview is a pageview. A blogger doesn’t care how they get it…The headline is there to get you to view the article …Whether you get anything out of it is irrelevant – the click already happened….the Internet worships a different god: Traffic. It lives and dies by clicks, because that’s what drives ad revenue and influence. The central question…is not, Is this entertaining? but, Will this get attention? Will it spread?...”
