I'd rather them make jokes and try to make me laugh to "farm" page hits rather than publish click-bait headlines that lead to idiotic articles. At least we're all in on the joke on April Fools.
Agreed. I often have to change the channel if a scene on a show (that I otherwise like) is just too cringe-inducing. I wonder if there's something underlying some people's sensitivity to this? Heightened activity of mirror-neurons perhaps (e.g. feeling embarrassed for someone else)
