It's an opinion piece, and those are intended to drive engagement. That's the point of publishing them, going back to the start of newspapers. It's rage bait, pure and simple. Many opinion pieces can fall into that category, and have for generations.

    Same thing with the whole "Democrats support open air drug markets in SF" schtick they did this week. It's one thing to publish a controversial editorial from some hack provocateur, but it's another thing entirely to push notifications for that article to your app.
