It seems like it’d be possible to quantify what % of views derive from enflaming content. A few starting points we could look at, # of people banned and reach of said content, auction price of ad inventory that is temporally or visually adjacent to inflammatory speech, etc. It wouldn't be an exact science, but curious if it’s 10% or 70%.

I fundamentally agree that ad-driven revenue models have perverted many business models for content-driven sites (UGC or publishing). Many of the examples are publisher driven, are there any market examples of (perhaps small) UGC content sites that don’t rely on either selling personal information, or an ad-driven model?
