Internet viewing as a way to get real-time information on views and interests as incentive to cause outrage above reporting the facts.
Internet has it's own Overton Window. There are bounds on permissible discourse. Usenet was a truer reflection of the general consensus. The Web was coopted and used to manufacture consent.

The choices made after the Stonewall Riots led directly to dead children today.
