It&#x27;s kind of like that &quot;overnight success, ten years in the making&quot; thing. People want the clickbait, the sensationalist stories, even though they are almost never representative of real life. That&#x27;s because the media&#x27;s incentives are to get a lot of eyeballs, and not necessarily to provide an accurate retelling of events, which means they&#x27;ll take the divisive, explosive angle whenever they can, whether the tone is negative (woman being harassed) or positive (mythical superhuman Steve Jobs accomplishes mythical feat all by himself), because that&#x27;s what gets people clicking.
