Well HN isn't really a place for jokes and that sure is one if I've ever seen one. People don't care to sort out the BS, they share/read/click on things that reinforce their existing viewpoints and/or bias. It's like putting healthy food and candy on a table and letting lose kids into the room and saying "I'm sure they will pick the nutritionally sound and healthy options".
