American here, if you stop listening to them then you loose track of how bat shit insane the lies they're spewing are. They'll drive a wedge between you and their audience and you won't even know why. It will be because they'll prime their audience against you at every turn. Corporate media and alternative media are always working their way into the minds of your family and friends. Trust me. You can't ignore them. That's how I lost family.
The more people ignore then, the less ads revenue they make. If they become fringe then sure some people will lose friends and family to them, but way less than if everyone keeps checking them "just in case".
Exactly. This is the reason why titles becoming more and more "clickbaity". Eyeballs and clicks are what they need to justify their ads/marketing budget. After that manufactured rage "engagement" equals to "internet fortune and fame".
