Tuttle is optimistic about the future. In his opinion, the internet could be clickbait-free. As long as we handle things the right way, of course. “Social media corporations need to provide tools to content farmers to incentivize them to keep their content on their social media page.”

“One nature they can do this is to provide options to generate revenue by post on social media like Facebook or Twitter. Right now there are no ways to make money directly through social media thus content providers are needing to redirect their traffic somewhere where they can be more profitable like their website, ” he pointed out to Bored Panda.

“Another thing we fight for is to promote media literacy. By being able to read a headline and tell the difference between a columnist with unity or simply someone using sensationalism to generate a click, the subscribers can make an drilled decision on who to support.”

Tuttle added that they are “the little beings assembling together to fight against the fake news, and we’re having an impact. It’s time to fight against the economy of the Internet; it’s all in the mention, it’s time to stop clickbait.” That’s the force! With a pleasant outlook like that, it’s not hard to believe that we can live in a world where internet journalism is transparent and to-the-point.
