People post a lot of information on the internet. Needless to say, it’s hard to determine which information is correct and which isn’t. What is correct for one person may not be correct for another. Unfortunately, right and wrong can only be subjective in many cases.

Regrettably, the dissemination of positive or uplifting news faces obstacles, while negative news that evokes emotions such as anger and sadness tends to gain significant traction. For instance, on X, they report that users retweet negative news nearly seven times more frequently than positive news.

Interestingly, platforms like YouTube and X operate on a revenue model tied to content views or reads. In essence, higher viewership translates to increased earnings. As a result, individuals disseminating information for profit tend to prioritize the transmission of negative news. This likely explains the prevalence of negative, if not entirely fake, information circulating online.

It is crucial to recognize that information serves not only as a way to convey facts but also as a tool to generate income. Financial motives drive much of the information circulating on the internet, emphasizing the need for discernment when consuming content online.
