    The media loves shit like this because they don’t want media to be a passive choice. They want to feed it to you. They want to push it deep into your brain. They want flyers, they want certified mail, they want propaganda. Because it is profitable.

    Websites are easy to leave, ignore, or forget. They’d have to work for your attention.

    Email just shows up.
