I haven\u2019t seen anything like it in a long time. On Facebook, on Twitter, and even sometimes in my email inbox, there are these headlines.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe Don\u2019t Hear Enough From Native American Voices. Here\u2019s An Inspiring Message From One.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAn Auto Executive Talks Up Gas. The Guy Next To Him Who Builds Space Rockets Puts Him In His Place.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe May Tell Our Kids That Life Isn’t Fair, But We Should Actually Listen To Them Talk About Fairness\u201d<\/p>\n
They make an emotional promise. They usually have two phrases. They paint their political proposition as obvious, as beyond debate.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re headlines in the Upworthy style, and they seem to have colonized every news source. Upworthy the company has done well by them, too: On Thursday, it announced it had 87 million unique visitors in November. (For context: That\u2019s more than the New York Times. A lot more.)<\/p>\n
Upworthy\u2019s new, but it\u2019s not startlingly new. Founded in March of last year, its headline style was so obvious that the New York Times could parody it by July.<\/p>\n
So, why did it explode now?<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a short answer and there\u2019s a long answer\u2014and the long answer has very little to do with the upstart publisher, and very much to do with the long history of Silicon Valley\u2019s most famous companies.
