That's what happens when they are conditioned to produce content that maximizes view/click counts. Who created that incentive? Google did.

You only get to understand what a massive role Google plays in the like/click/view generating ecosystem when you spend time in a modern digital publishing/advertising/marketing firm. It's like watching a huge cattle auction where peoples views/clicks etc are being traded 24*7.
