“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

Crybullies are freedom of speech absolutists because *their* ideal of that concept is, in fact, not freedom of speech but enforcement of attention.
