It was in a place where it could have become one, with the first round of federal leases issued under Biden. A few on the east coast are actually finishing up construction

Look at the nasal mist vaccines for your kid. Slightly less protection, but no needle. And you can get them by mail order and administer at home so that you don't need to organize an outing around the vaccine

UI design sharply increases the probability of behaving in this way; it takes a real fundamental rethink of the UI in order to change that. For what it's worth, commercial platforms are increasingly pushing people away from providing a link, either by banning links like Instagram, or by having a feed ranking algorithm which discourages their inclusion (X, Facebook, others)

I don't blame individual choices for something that's largely a result of platform design.

The problem is that a huge chunk of the online audience only ever sees the headline. Click-through rates hover around 2% and of those who vote or comment, only about one in four has clicked the link.

It's not a crazy concern, but definitely should be expressed more clearly.

There is a reason I quoted the key paragraphs in the post.
