They'll push anything for ratings and human beings are stupid creatures. It has been proven that the angrier people get, the more they engage with content of all types.

Well, self-determination to the degree that (some of us) embrace it in the US is a fairly recent phenomenon in human history. Most of history more or less revolves around a caste/class system that you are born into and out of which you could not climb.

We still can't quite believe that you can write your own ticket to the limit of your ability and determination.

Karl Marx didn't help, either.
