  People probably post ragebait here too, but there’s a built-in incentive on Reddit, particularly on subreddits like AITA or the Tenth Dentist, where users are encouraged to up vote the most ‘interesting’ posts, even if they find it offensive. Maybe the equivalents here also have this policy, but upvotes mean a lot more on Reddit than here—some subreddits require a high amount of karma to post, and posting something that’s guaranteed to get passed around and upvoted a ton can get people enough karma to make many more posts, have a buffer in place in case a different comment gets downvoted, or just want a lot of karma for bragging rights. Hell, you can even monetize upvotes now, in some cases.

  Here on Lemmy, upvotes mainly just pass your content around for the sake of passing it around. Maybe there’s an algorithm that is more likely to push an unrelated post you made to the top, but the benefits for posting ragebait here aren’t as many as they are on Reddit.

  Was this on Reddit? I know there are some communities there that actively reward users with upvotes for ragebaitey content.

  I tried to get it to write a fanfiction about that camera falling in love with my sister’s GoPro, but it didn’t work. Evidently, this feature is only on the mobile app 😑 And I ain’t downloading it. An article about it from CNBC

  I looked through several of these ‘title’ posts, and that does seem to be the most common use for that now that I look at it. Though I do occassionally come across stuff that you could probably come up with a decent title for, but might take longer than is worthwhile. Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are are some posts called "Title"?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just got two specific ones in my reply to @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone. You can probably find a few more by going into search, filtering it to post only, and typing in ‘title’ as the search text. Usually I don’t click into them, so I can’t recall any specific ones that stuck out at me from my history, but I remember seeing some in my feed time to time.

  Hm…supposing I’m a man…it would depend on how you’d define “extreme”. If she were the “kill all men/men are useless” type that you occassionally stumble across on Twitter, or thinks that women who are more feminine are undeserving of respect, I would say hard pass. But some might define extreme feminists of ones who just want basic rights, but are very vocal about them, like to have an abortion when the fetus isn’t that developed, or, hell, not to get arrested for having a miscarriage. Or get paid/longer maternity leave (mostly opposed by people who underestimate the difficulty of childcare). Depends on how far right the individual judging leans. For that second type, I may accept.

  By “beside they being man or woman”, do you mean would I marry someone as long as they were an extreme feminist regardless of my own sexual preferences?

  My attempt at translating this question to regular English: Are extremist feminist females “ugly” because they don’t wear makeup because of patriarchy and are “so feminist”? (Cut out some parts I thought were redundant)

  Has any feminist really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
