I think it is because people are generally NOT saying that they should necessarily BLOCK things, but instead label them appropriately.

THIS IS SATIRE: at the top of ONION articles. THIS IS FAKE: on top of us-political-truth-grabber-buzz.com

maybe OPINION gets added to HUFFPO

I think that would likely be enough to satisfy most of the needs.

... Although while we're talking blue sky / greenfield ... maybe we add something like:

   Here's How Ridiculously Expensive It Is To Replace A Windshield On An Aston Martin |[ $4414.41 ]
to all that shitty clickbait out there :)

YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS MAN DID FOR HIS DOG! [He dressed up like it's favorite toy and it was adorable]

God that sounds amazing. I'd want to see the dog video, but I refuse to click on principle.

Can crowdsource summaries and make a chrome plugin?
