>to show how much money is spent on you as a user thumbs up
I was thinking about this yesterday as well. I used to read newspaper's website's, but now I just go on aggregates like hubski and reddit. Every time I read something on a news website, and click a few links and find an interesting article, I don't post it because I assume someone else already has. I wonder who trolls these websites looking for breaking news to post. Especially on a site like reddit, it must be almost as soon as a big story is printed that it gets posted, is there a group of people in a perpetual race to post the big stories, or do news websites post stories themselves...?
>why is it so expensive to get psychiatric services, but you can turn on the TV and have psychologists fuck you up for free That's fantastic! I watched The Century of Self about five years ago, but I still find myself referencing it in conversations about advertisements and political talking points. Definitely worth a watch.
