That very last sentence is exactly what I'm doing when it comes to consuming media. I'm certainly not creating any. Even though I've stepped away from social media and the news my anxiety is high, but it would be higher with all of the takes flying around. Also, a term comes to mind as I read both pieces: disaster capitalism. Whether it's intentional or not on the part of the influencer, that's what I'm seeing. Anyway, I enjoy analyzing the thing behind the thing.
