This as lead some to the dark path of courting and audience that will cheer on or hate on a particular take. The position that provoke the response "Oh! I never thought of it that way" usually results in the viewer/reader going away to have a thing about rather than donning their social warrior had to give it to opfor.A lot of these hot takes do not have much real merit in my opinion and are exhausting for the average punter but are there to generate a following and engagement.It is a form of trolling.</blockquote>
