I absolutely love how fired up the average YouTube commenter was about Honey... for about 72 hours. People completely unaffected in any way were demanding class action lawsuits, etc with seemingly no clue why they were even upset. Then the subject completely left their minds.

This observation is of course entirely anecdotal, but manufactured outrage is so fascinating, even if it currently eroding the very foundations of society.

The amount of information flooding our minds on a daily basis is staggering. We barely have enough time to process how we feel about a topic, when there are dozens of others craving for our attention. The software we use is built precisely to deliver as much information as possible in the shortest amount of time. So can you really blame people for moving on to other things?
