Alerting is meaningless if it doesn't motivate people enough to organize. You're way underestimating the influence of media like this.

No one is motivated by snark. They are motivated by ideals which, by their very nature, cannot be expressed as a negative.

I can agree with that.

They are motivated by ideals which, by their very nature, cannot be expressed as a negative.

Not so much on this one, one person's ideals could be another's hate speech.

Have you conducted a study, or did you just mean to type "I am not motivated by snark."

Personally, I find a complete lack of snark to be alienating. I'm not motivated by pure positivity, just creeped out.
