Just because people get unnecessarily angry at something doesn’t make it rage bait. We live in an outrage culture, and the people getting outraged over them quantifying how much people weren’t working during this are just desperate to be outraged.
People are calling this rage bait and claiming that it’s all the media does. It’s literally just economically quantifying how much was lost to people going out to look. It even quotes someone as saying this isn’t a big deal.
And this thread is about, and filled with, people raging that they are claiming that people viewing it is bad because it’s bad for rich people. Literally raging about something that didn’t even happen, and using that rage as evidence to confirm something else they made up to rage about.
I don’t think I could come up with a better example of outrage culture if I tried.
“Journalism” is just rage bait now, they know exactly what they’re doing with this headline and it pisses me off … which is ironic.

I don’t think anyone is desperate to be outraged. Valid reasons for outrage are legion.
