I don't understand the concept from a viewers POV. Why would I watch someone who is spouting things they clearly don't believe just to get me to bite on being riled up? It doesn't make sense. Why would I watch if it is designed to make me outraged or mad? What is the point of that?

I literally do not understand this concept at all. Billions of people fall for it but for the life of me I cannot understand it.

I hate to be that guy but saying stupid things gets you click and views. It's the new era of social media. Controversy sells. Cam was the talk of the NFL last week for saying Purdy and Dak are game managers. People love that kind of stuff.

 

You're just one of the view who has the mindset to block that nonsense out. It's kind of hard for me because I mainly just watch sports.

That's been the guarding force behind sports talk radio pretty much since Jim Rome hit the scene.

It's not about having a thoughtful discussion anymore. It's about having the hottest possible take (and having it first) then demanding everybody react to it.

At some point, fandom decided dick measuring contests were more fun than thoughtful discussion.

Yeah, I miss both thoughtful and reasoned sports and political discussion. We have really devolved in those aspects.
