A friend pointed out to me that an article I shared was little but click bait. I admit to only skimming the content before posting. I do that.

Unless a URL I post on social networks refers to prjorgensen.com, pvcsec.com, or one of my other sites directly, I apply cursory or less verification as to the authenticity, veracity, quality, security, or reliability of the data.

The journalist in me WANTS to vet everything I post via all the media. I lack the time.

What do you do? How do you not echo click bait?

Comment here or hashtag #askpvcsec on Twitter.
