Agreed. I think of that scene from the end of The Truman Show: the viewers are transfixed, Truman is trying to break free from the set. Then, the show goes off the air, and a viewer at home says, "Alright. What else is on?"

That's how I feel about the outrage-bait now. Like so many businesses built their castles on beach sand that they're inevitably getting washed away. How did they not see that coming?
