“The Curiosity Gap”

The title is written in an intentionally vague way to entice a potential viewer into clicking it.

If the title was: “I Got a CS Degree in 3 Months for Less Than $5000 from WGU”, that’s not clickbait because it tells a more complete story.

(But telling the whole story from the title means people won’t click, so that’s why it’s written like that)

I get the general sense that people debate in good faith on here. I rarely see comment chains devolve into name calling and personal attacks like on Reddit.

Sometimes you come across a comment on here that seems a little whackadoodle, but even the weirdest takes I’ve seen at least includes some amount of reasoning behind a particular position. I mostly attribute these types of comments to the nerdy tech filter bubble we’re all living in.
