Sally Kohn 2: Don't like clickbait? Don't click

Sally Kohn 2: Don't like clickbait? Don't click (transcript)

Summary

We have to know that we have more responsibility for our clicks

Our clicking is a public act. It’ not a private act.

Even, clicking something that we don't like makes it worse. It encourages the tyranny of the nasty.

We should be careful in clicking and use it in a good purpose.

Don't just stand by the sidelines when we see someone getting hurt and stop clicking on the lacking value stories.

We have to choose the news site we can truly trust ourselves seriously because our clicks are important because media is always dangerous. Media makes us mad deliberately.
