For every "fact" post, 10000s read the title and no more, a few 100 read the 10th down comment with the real info/context.

Most of what people think about the world is just fiction effectively. I believe it's a large problem with society. Worst is with news events and science (cherry picked articles with sensationalist headlines).

Not limited to reddit of course.

You can usually see if a title is corrected cos the vote % will be a bit lower, maybe 80-93%. Some go back and downvote it. But clearly most people upvote and move on

I have no problem the way they used to do it, for example in Pittsburgh when the city)state out up like 15% of the money and it cost 280 million total

Now they are building monstrosities and asking for all the money. Buffalo does not need to spend 1.4 billion on a stadium

Insane and criminal

Very true, arguably a defender in English Football could see more trauma playing every week the whole year than a martial arts professional having 1-2 fights a year. Besides some bloody fights and refs not ending the fight I find it watchable. But it‘s also a different context, you decide to become a professional fighter then you‘re signing up to get fked up. Football players are supposed to play ball in both Handegg and Football.
