[...] getting people emotionally involved is more profitable than just doing traditional journalism.

100% that! I'll go one step further and say that this problem can not be solved in a world where the number one priority of the socioeconomic system is making profits. Even in alternative online media "clickbait" has quickly become a mainstay because it's more profitable to incite anger, fear and hatred than have an honest discussion about anything.

Thanks for stopping by and responding!
