People used to say all press is good press, that's not true anymore, but all mechanical amplification is useful to those amplified. Professional propaganda researchers and moderators are having psychological issues from these spaces, don't send your average reader to them.Permalink On twitter.com

I don't understand how it's 2019 and journalists still don't understand that MSM angrily linking or amplifying is why they do things like shitty 'edgy' comedy to begin with. It's the whole point. Amplifying extremists creates more extremists.Permalink On twitter.com

Professional researchers treat this type of content with protections, training and tools, like it is the psychological equivalent of radioactive matter. To link your audience to it, and then instruct them to go to it, is journalistic malpractice.Permalink On twitter.com

Also, the hypocrisy of 1. pixeling the kid's face while linking to their video and 2. Just putting quotes by the kid and having no counterbalance from a professional who researches this type of content, is breathtaking. This article is shockingly inept and potentially harmful.On twitter.com

Also, those YouTube links do *not* have rel=nofollow on them which means that when Google indexes this article those links will be considered ranking signals that push the linked YouTube videos further towards the top of search results. Just so many incredibly bad decisions here.Permalink On twitter.com
