Technique 1, click baity titles like "10 things you absolutely need to know about x"
Eh, that's just any article these days. The article itself is actually pretty interesting. I have definitely seen/heard people ise these argument techniques before but mever knew they had names.
Well it was mostly humoristic comment. Couldn't help myself with the picture perfect "10 things you need to know" template. Since as every knows, one should comment without reading the article. That is what all the cool kids do these days.
Hmmm... I shall go now read it, since you said it is interesting read.
Edit: you were right, it was interesting read. Shall press that up arrow there.
Lol, for sure. The irony of that title definitely wasn't lost on me either
- Having an image-based slide show on what could've been a 10-point bulleted list.
Gotta get those extra ads in bruh
I gave up on the article halfway through due to the monitor punching and obnoxious ads.
Pretty much everything on the internet is bait these days. It's how you get clicks.
You know what isn't bait? PBS Newhour.
Nobody watches that though, because it's boring.
I fucking love PBS Newshour
You won't believe #7.
My "slideshow" was a single scroll, no ads.
What I've learned from slide 6 is that y'all who complain about the "slideshows" deserve them since y'all don't believe in ad blocker. /s
For real though, the article is very interesting and I think it's worth a read. Listing them out wouldn't help anyone.

-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
