I blame it in part on "hot take culture". From sports to politics to business to tech, it has become an unfortunate part of public discourse. Think of it like contrarianism or playing devil's advocate to the extreme. I don't know the cause, perhaps some see it as the only way to stand out when its so easy to publish your thoughts. Maybe its yet another negative externality from social media.

It's easy to spot in comments, posts, and articles–they have titles like:

"... is actually bad"

"... is actually good"

"... considered harmful"

"Actually, ... "

"No, you don't ... "
