"[...] although people disapprove of #flaming, and research demonstrates how resorting to nastiness and incivility weakens third-party assessments of persuasive signals [...], people appear to still believe in its effectiveness. Consistent with the #thirdpersoneffect [...], people appear to assume that other people are persuaded by flaming, just not themselves. This contributes to our understanding of why [...] people still commonly engage in such behaviors."

Wie sich Medien und Publikum besser verstehen könnten, zeigt mein Essay: Wer sich #Framing, #Priming, #ThirdPersonEffect oder #HostileMediaEffect bewusst macht, ist imstande, kognitive Verzerrungen zu verstehen.

Yeesh. Having run out of technology to hold moral panics about, The Atlantic now reverts to just plain puritanism, sounding very much like Dwight Macdonald condemning "masscult" and entertainment. I watched Megan Garber on Morning Joe touting this specimen of , , and snobbery.
I address this in my upcoming book (snippet from The Gutenberg Parenthesis below....)

That connection—between Puritanism and the mass—is revealing, for culture feeds entertainment to the masses and then looks down on them for consuming it.To be merely entertained, to value enjoyment for its own sake,is low culture, practically sinful. Shils, too, saw the connection. Mass theory, he said, “has arisen against a background of puritanical authority which, whatever its own practices, viewed with disapproval the pleasures of the mass of the population and all that seemed to distract them from their twin obligations of labor and obedience.” Added Rosenberg: “There is an attitude far more vicious than snobbery which converts the term ‘masses’ into ‘slobs.’ It is really distressing that so many philosophers, historians, psychologists,and other academics should also be irremediably contemptuousof the people at large.” Rosenberg asked the key question: “By what right do we call high culture ‘high’?” Critics like to think that high art is challenging—and that they are up to the challenge—while low entertainment is not. Mass culture “must provide amusement without insight and pleasure without disturbance—as distinct from art which gives pleasure through disturbance,” decreed critic Irving Howe. In 1948, he called the movie theater “a dark cavern, a neutral womb” that is “one of the few places that provides a poor man with a kind of retreat. . . . Here, at least, he does not have to acknowledge his irritating self.” -
