The "exclamation mark" type of media (xyz!) ...and how to move on?

Stirring the shit-show stuff of the world also isn't as it even promotes bad people...

Lately was thinking how exclamation mark type media (imagine the "!" at the end of sentences in text or video) is what sells or keep things going... but yes after a while more is needed...

█ Lately (Martial Arts competition) has caught the bug that sells Pay Per View (PPV) going back to this kind of Wrestling rivalry with ! marks and less honourable comments ( more personal and outside of the ring / cage comments of the less honourable kind to sell fights).
Colin McGregor had originally (and more genuinely) had this style and then many copied without style and it's detectably fake / extra whereas Colin was really Colin.

█ I also like and prefer when people can quote from a kind of 'go to' list of decent people INSTEAD of stirring the shit-show stuff more (because stirring those people isn't great after the education is received and even promotes bad people).
A good-ish list I saw is here noauthority.social/@Cosmic/111 just as example of who we could focus on and have our own personal lists of good people not stone-throwing and even promoting the names of the bad that end up upping the search engine ranking more than our heroes.

And though it's hard to measure when a reader or viewer gets any message (even Alex Jones style of repetition can help for 1 or 2 episodes, you can still see some shows leaning *mostly on repeating* after the yes "this is how they do it" and not moving on to that "we need to" or "what next..." for each individual

(which is perhaps the hardest question so hard to blame shows inside the government bubble). Not even supporting Alex Jones but at least he says directly FUND X, GIVE IT TO X, HELP STOP X (imagining in a better world it all goes to the causes people will promote)

ANSWERS AND SUGGESTIONS WELCOME :)
(i.e. how to not get caught in the vortex of stirring (sh)it and spreading it and instead spreading better things !!)

My answer is Mastodon and talking to people personally!... which could be you...
