A very reputable news outlet in my country ran several stories a day about the sub. Wha**t happened?, Infos about the people, how muxh air do they have?, a story when their air supply actually ran out, ...
The weirdest were two opinion pieces about the reasons why "we" cared and wanted to read more about 5 rich people than about a sinking boat full of migrants. It felt really distasteful, because they wrote all the articles, because they wanted the clicks and money
Clicks and money because people actually click on it. To me it was a boring story other than I was interested in why carbon fiber was such a bad choice. I learned something. I find desperate people doing while trying to make it to a better life far more newsworthy than someone dying while doing a voluntary hobby/event. Particularly when that event was risky.
