[size= 16px]I was tracking a major news story online today and got sucked into the endless "live updates" and dramatic alerts on one of those popular news sites. It felt urgent and critical, like I needed to stay glued to it. After two hours of refreshing, I realized the story had barely progressed—just speculation and repackaged old facts. It was all designed to keep me clicking. I feel like the goal isn't to inform anymore; it's just to create anxiety and keep us online. Am I the only one who notices this and feels completely burned out by it?[/size]
