TRENDING

News Feed:  News nowadays is received for most people when they’re not even
searching for it. Personally I go on the internet a lot (kinda a huge nerd) and I’ll
see the “trending” page or the “hot” page and click on it because it’s something
that everyone else is interested in. A good example of this is when I went on
Youtube yesterday and I scrolled through my recommended feed and Pewdiepie’s
video on Dr. Disrespect came up which peaked my interest. After it being posted
for only 4 hours it had over 600,000 views. The same thing happens on things like
Reddit as well. I’ll scroll through my feed and I’ll see posts where there will be over
hundreds of comments discussing certain things about what's going on around the
world… whether that's games or politics. Truly, I feel as though all these companies
use every single type of rhetorical choice to get their points across to all of their users.
Posts such as “Ima touch the giant” to “TIL that in the late Classical Era of Greece,
women owned 35% of the land and property in Sparta.”
