Click First, Think Later: The Rise of #Gaming "News" That Tells You Nothing:
It starts with a headline:
“This ONE Feature Will CHANGE Gaming FOREVER.”
You pause. You’re curious. Could be your favorite #genre. Could be something #new. It sounds big. Important. Industry-shaking. You click.Article:
– No source
– No #game title
– Lots of “might,” “could,” “reportedly”
– Buzzwords like “immersive,” “groundbreaking,” “never seen before”
– “It’s unclear if this will actually happen.”After 900 words, you realize the entire article was just smoke and mirrors. A vague comment taken out of context, inflated to headline status, stretched into a meaningless wall of text.
You’ve learned nothing. But somehow, the page got your click. Mission accomplished.
