Created page from sandbox

[edit]

This page was created from the user's sandbox The full history of its development can be found there. I had also considered creating the page "rage click" instead of rage farm. Oceanflynn (talk) 22:45, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shorter lead needed

[edit]

The WP:LEAD is much too long in proportion to the overall length of the article. Sometimes big articles like History of France where most of the content is generally well-organised and not too controversial can justify long leads, but that is not the case here. Redoing the lead will first require a thorough reading through the whole content, which mostly looks well-sourced. My suggestion for someone with the time to do this:

  • shift most of paragraphs 2, 3, 4 of the current lead to the body of the article, possibly as brief, complementary sections or subsections;
  • consider re-organising some of the existing section/subsection structure ("Examples" sounds a bit anecdotic);
  • then re-check the lead to see if it's a fair summary, roughly matching the sections and summarising them.

Better citations

[edit]

Citations on the article are all over the place. Tried cleaning them up but I'm not entirely sure about what is entirely necessary to keep on the page. Aisterion (talk) 11:35, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Biased article

[edit]

This article makes it seem as though only right wing news outlets participate in rage bait when in reality it's done all across the political spectrum. Just another example of left wing bias on Wikipedia. 2605:A601:AC39:1200:7DCB:CBC0:BA2E:6E36 (talk) 16:57, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Facebook's enragement engagement policy

[edit]

It should be mentioned that Facebook employees came forward claiming Facebook had a stated policy that intentionally promoted enraging posts, and locked out tens of millions of users who thwarted the policy with convincing, reasoned, well supported, well written, replies. The employees called it the enragement engagement policy because it exploited Facebook's own findings that enraging users retained them on the site longer. One in a hundred users of this kind were locked out under false accusations of policy violations including false accusations of violating Facebook's real name requirement. A requirement Facebook already lost a lawsuit for enforcing on abused women, and transgendered people using a preferred name. There has yet to be a suit filed against Facebook for banning people who were using real names but falsely accused of not. But Facebook's policy on it is a direct violation of the FCC founding law, The Communication Act of 1934. Specifically the section on non discrimination in like fees or requirements for like services. Facebook has been demanding proof of identity from falsely accused people but not from all users. Demanding falsely accused users provide a phone number, and denying service altogether to everyone else in households that use one phone. 2600:8807:5400:600:6DB6:FAB9:F760:45EC (talk) 11:08, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
