TWTD seems to have developed an algorithm... 09:40 - Jun 16 with 1549 viewsMarshalls_Mullet

...that makes its posters into bots who simply post a lazy headline and a link to a random story, with little or no effort at providing background or context.

This is a sinister development.

You should widen your reading.

Shame on you.

You should tell us more about Primark. Because, I was just as interested then.

I'm sure you're capable of researching Primark for yourself.

That would almost be an improvement.

Am just asking for some narrative and context, I'm sure we're not all too lazy for that.

Or just click on the LINK & learn something new.

An area in Seattle was turned into an autonomous zone when police HQ’s moved out overnight after demonstrations. It was pretty big news. I mean, it wasn’t as big news as Primark reopening of course...

Have you got a link for that?



Of course, perhaps there is a clearly wrong assumption that people are able to read a story and make their own mind up about it, without having to have it passed through the prism of somebody else's opinions (depending on the source, of course, it will have passed through several other prisms already. That's why an unbiased organisation like the BBC is always going to be the best source. Sadly there aren't many others).

I think it is a question of provenance. What is the quality of the link? Does it lead to a well researched article? That is balanced and well written, covering a wide range of viewpoints.

I once posted, I think in response to one of Glassers diatribes, a link to a PressTV article on an assumption that it was an American news outlet that had provided me a knock down argument. It was either Steve_M or Guthers who pointed out to me that PressTV is a propaganda organ of the Iranian government. I have had a few embarrassing moments on this forum but I rate that one in the top three. (Yes, I am reading the Wikipedia page on Medium.com - interesting).

A well-written article, such as you'll find with anything on the BBC website will have that.

What you're saying really is that you can't be bothered to reading stuff.

You are confusing 'context' with 'a brief summary of the article for the intellectually lazy'.

I didn't have you down as someone with an inferiority complex mr - they're just interesting links that people might not have come accross yet. If you knew it already, don't click, silly!

I'd already read it at source.

I just think that when positing a link it's useful to say why you think people might find it to be of interest.

Take some time to read my posts, and you will see that I probably engage in the widest discussions of anyone on here.

Some of momentum followers on here are unable to see more than one perspective.
