Interesting article. I guess the problem is about trying to fix the symptoms instead of the actual problem. A big issue is that the algorithms in use by Big Tech social media companies tends to favor content like this. If not, we would all just stop following people that share stuff like this. Instead it is forced on us like a Copilot.

The only answer is to ban user profiling and use of said profiling for ad and content selection.
