    Your attention is the new economy.

    So you are literally giving the guy money by thinking and talking about him. I wish everyone would just turn off their TVs and stop visiting news sites. Imagine the calm and peace.

      I wish they actually showed news. Imagine the increased empathy and better voting habits from an informed populace.

      The problem is less information overload and more using information overload to obfuscate and hide relevant information. Diverting attention rather than drawing attention.

      I can pretty much guarantee that he did not and will not, literally or even figuratively, make any money off of a post I wrote on lemmy.

      There’s a point somewhere under your hyperbole - if you tone it down a bit and ease off on the aggression, you’ll be more successful at making it.
