- Do not click on anything from Buzzfeed or ViralNova.
- Remember that HuffPo doesn't pay the vast majority of its contributors. Value its articles according.
- Pretend that shopping sites that require you to share your email before you can see their goods don't exist.
- Do not read the comments, except at a very few well-moderated sites.
- It's totally okay to hide Facebook friends who post stupid political crap all the time. (Corollary: Each of us is entitled to decide what is stupid political crap.)
- Anyone who thinks Twitter follows must be reciprocal is probably a douchebag.
- Do not click on anything from Upworthy. If something is truly interesting, a media source will be able to get my attention with a straightforward headline rather than mysterious linkbait.
- Do not feel bad because you are not on Facebook AND Tumblr AND Pinterest AND Snapchat AND Twitter AND Google+. Just how many hours do you think I have in my day anyway?
