Based on a recent experience I can tell you that being controversial garners a lot of attention - apparently there is no need to fact check, just go with what you heard - strike when the iron is hot style article and hope others will agree with you and run with it (creating a snowball effect) -

But yes, who cares about anybody else's mental health or whatever, right? It's all about you and what you believe at the end of the day, right?

Rant over ( apologies but this got me upset)
