What end is served?
The most important question is not “who is right?” but who benefits if you accept this frame?
Attention
The end is ad revenue. Your outrage is the product. The story is optimised to keep you scrolling.
Action
The end is a behavior change: vote, donate, buy, protest, block. The narrative is a funnel.
Normalization
The end is moving the Overton window. What was unthinkable yesterday is “reasonable” today.
Division
The end is in-group/out-group entrenchment. The story makes you less able to talk to the other side.
