This. People disengaging from content that puts them off is part of what shapes book covers and headlines and the whole interaction between "people making stuff" and "people looking at it." It's terribly disrespectful to harangue people for not exposing themselves to what feels like distasteful junk, to them.

And ironic, because a lot of the people browsing new media walked away from TV and newspapers and so on because they didn't like how that stuff treated them and they had other people they could listen to who weren't seeing them as eyeballs to capture or pocketbooks on legs. So, when the marketing abuse tries to follow them to new platforms, they've got every right to defend themselves from it there, too. And speak up about the fact that they don't like it!

It's wild to me how often capitalists claim, out one side of their mouth, that they're the best at giving people what they want, while out the other side of their mouth, they're throwing tantrums about people not wanting what they're trying to sell.
