It's a social media problem in general. Rage bait gets posted everywhere all of the time these days. Think of any story with a headline that relies on limited information or out of context snippets. Sound familiar? It ought to.

And someone like Marcotte should know that considering how she built her own online career.

I mean, c'mon. Some self-awareness, please.
