@benzado No, because that is not the definition of clickbait. The headline is provocative; clickbait is absolutely not defined as simply a provocative headline. — PolitiTweet.org

@JoshPincus1 You cannot *possibly* imagine how little I care about ratio — PolitiTweet.org

@Skaterx999 Actually, something can be objectively bad and subjectively enjoyable. The first is definitely the case here, and the latter appears to be the case for some viewers of the show—which is not something I have a problem with whatsoever (though I would and do recommend better shows). — PolitiTweet.org

@ZomBunnyFrank Substack allows readers to see all the content titles of a Substack website before subscribing, as well as reading in full any free articles. I would say more, but unfortunately you are no longer with us. — PolitiTweet.org

@mkliberal1138 @SamOwns1379 No need for you to be tweeting a reply to it, then. — PolitiTweet.org

(What’s bizarre is that many of the comments in this thread defend the visuals of the show, its acting or its casting—three things I discuss *in the first section of the article* as being *totally fine*. This is why one shouldn’t waste time responding to articles one won’t read.) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(I regularly watch shows—and enjoy shows!—that I think are objectively bad, or at least objectively deeply flawed, as a matter of creative writing craft. If you are not interested in looking at art in this way, just ignore the article! No harm, no foul. No need to feel slighted.) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(The show is objectively bad as a matter of creative writing—a subject I have a terminal degree in, have written a reference book about, taught at the college level for 15 years, and have practiced for 25 years. This has *nothing* to do with whether folks are allowed to like it!) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(What I *really* didn’t expect is folks claiming a media critic doing what media critics do—what I’ve done as a professional media critic for a decade now—is somehow an attack on them personally. It’s not. Like whatever TV shows you like; read this or don’t; this isn’t a battle.) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(What I hoped is that folks interested in this topic would want to subscribe to RETRO to see if they could muster a *reasoned* response to the article, which I don’t think they could. I thought those unwilling to read the article would ignore the tweet. That’s not what happened.) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(Also—and I know this is going to be a very strange thing to say—but I have taught the subject of clickbait in both journalism and creative writing classes. If you think something is “clickbait” *just because you disagree with it*, you literally have no idea what clickbait is.) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@Barbhrmn That’s my point. If someone doesn’t want to subscribe to RETRO and read the article, that’s 100% OK! But I suppose it also means that there’s not much sense in responding to my tweet. What’s confusing me is those who don’t see that connection. Why not just ignore the tweet, then? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@Quaferu Yes. How I write everything. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(It’s 100% OK to like the show—and I’m not sure why I even have to say that. Of *course* it is. And no one needs to read any article they don’t want to. But what surprises me is people refusing to read the article yet wanting to reply to it. Where does *that* attitude come from?) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(I’m pretty sure the percentage of those in the comments who read the article is <2%, and that almost none of the commenters here know what my issue with the show is or how exhaustively I explored it. The article at the link is quite long and quite detailed, and not reactionary.) — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not about what *voters* want. It was *never* about what voters want. It will never *be* about what voters want. It’s about absolute control and authority. Theocratic fascism. Christofascism. Kobach is Trump’s man—so he learned fascism from a master. https://t.co/13SnzcPIYX — PolitiTweet.org

How do we get the ~20% of Republicans who vote Republican but *aren’t* actually committed to being in a death cult run by a career criminal and serial sexual assailant to finally start going through the five stages of grief and *accept* that their beloved GOP died six years ago? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
“When are the Americans who keep voting Republican because that’s what they’ve done for decades—rather than because they idolize a career conman—going to accept the fact that none of the reasons they once had for voting Republican still exist, because their party no longer does?” — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
So when “Ray Epps” trends on Twitter, or the cultists start talking about “lockdowns” that never happened, or the cultists whine about a “crisis at the border” that doesn’t affect them personally (and that Trump never did anything about anyway), the only question to ask is this: — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
So when someone says that “immigration is an issue” for Texas Republicans or New Hampshire Republicans, that’s *not true*. You have nostalgic Republicans who can’t accept that their party is dead, and you have MAGA cultists with no principles whatsoever—only raw anger and hatred. — PolitiTweet.org
