Many protests and fundraisers only happened because news could spread without gatekeepers. For example, small creators and businesses reach customers today without paying for TV ads. Start there and the rest follows.Opening6.3
False stories spread faster than corrections because outrage gets more clicks. For example, constant comparison with edited lives is linked with anxiety, especially for teenagers. That is why I stand on this side.Rebuttal6.3
True, paying matters. But it does not decide this debate. False stories spread faster than corrections because outrage gets more clicks. Look at real examples and this is the pattern you see again and again.Rebuttal6.9
