Our outrage over social media posts helps misinformation spread, study shows

Some people think that linking / RTing disinfo to complain about it is some kind of essential exercise in truth-telling. Actually, that is raising the culprit's exposure and search rankings and monetization $$$. Screenshot it and quote/paraphrase them instead plz. That goes for blogs and news articles, too!
