    Every now and then, there’s an article about some dumb shit a person on The View says. My reaction is always surprise that The View is still even a thing.

      I don’t really understand who their target audience is. They would’ve been conservative 20 years ago, but today I think they just cater to saying whatever middleclass boomers want to hear.

        A combination of that and knowing that comments like that will get articles like this, garnering them more attention and views. Ragebait may have become a recent Big Problem in the algorithms of social media, but it’s been around forever. Howard Stern and Jerry Springer built their fortunes on it.

      It’s a fossilized turd. My guess is, there’s so much fierce competition for eyeballs these days, if the advertisers think 200 people are actually watching it, they get pretty excited.
