dramatic sky is falling clickbaiters can generate hype
but if they are subsidized to be perpetual leaders despite the natural market forces and human desire for truth and growth

sustainable kayfabe culture
cults of personality
groups defined by their stereotypes
people acting with the goal of being perceived as a good member of this or that group
meanwhile, for instance, there is no one who thinks teaching the definitions of the words 'conservatism' and 'iatrogenesis' has value
