You are right and the problem is that it is so cheap and extremely profitable for these businesses at scale. In my opinion, the only way out is to start taxing all digital ad revenue. All these services are specifically constructed to create faux outrage to keep people coming back. However, you can't make someone understand something when their job depends on them not understanding it (Upton Sinclair). News has been replaced with click-bait infotainment. People have no interest in actually learning what happened. They just want to click LIKE and tell their partner about how person X is so right and is pwning the morons on the other side. It is sad that the oligarchy has convinced us all that our neighbor is our enemy while they rob us blind.
