I've also noticed a pattern with most successful magazines, book titles, blog posts, articles, and everything else meant to be read by new readers.
They start with an attention-grabbing headline. Then they tell a story that relates to the headline. And then they market other attention-grabbing headlines in the sidebar, popups, and other marketing means to keep readers engaged.
I only browse with a VPN and privacy shields on my incognito browser so I avoid most of the annoying things that advertisers do.
Having said that, I also realize that in order for reporters to travel to live events and report on them so I know what is going on, I know the travel needs to be paid for. The on-air talent or writing talent needs to be paid. The support staff needs to be paid. There are many costs to producing daily reports and stories.
The best way to have someone else pay for that, where I do not need to pay for a subscription, I just get to read for free, is to deal with advertising. A VPN and privacy browser goes a long way.
Good news sources understand that the better the headline, the more clicks on the headline, and thus the more viewers, and thus the more money they can make from selling ads.
I'm okay with this entire scenario. While TGP borders on sensationalizing I understand why they do it. Most importantly, they track all of the things that matter most to me: Election Integrity, Border Invasion, the Commie Show Trials, the Election, among many other things.
The best news is that we all get to choose which links we want to click and read. No one forces us to click on anything.
TGP sensationalizes everything.
What happens will happen. They try to stir stuff up.
I for many years read TGP and then you start to see a pattern.
The sensationize things that never happen.
Okay.
