“Stop with the end-of-the-world porn”
This was a comment for one of my articles. It caught my eye.
Why would some of my articles be considered “end-of-the-world porn”?
I am not talking about the optimistic ones, like that about 5 countries that got stronger with all the turmoil of 2022, or the other explaining how a particular South American country defeated inflation.
But would my article from 7 months ago with economic predictions for the next 12 months (and most of the prognoses happened almost exactly as described so far) be considered doom porn?
Here is the thing: the difference between doom & gloom or happy & zappy only depends on your current side of the transaction balance.
Example:
Headline: Interest rates are soaring at a record pace.
Who is the reader? Are you loaded with credit card debt? In this case, I am writing doom porn.
