#3No,no it's not. Things can be different without being weird. Weird is a judgement while different is a fact.
For example, I could say BBC opinion pieces are weird garbage but that would be an opinion.
I could say "man it's weird this is so high up on hackernews with no comments and six points", that would be an opinion too.

The internet is a better place if we engage with the actual content of articles and not just the headline. By only engaging solely with the headline you are just encouraging more clickbait by proving to content creators that the headline is all that matters.

Its less prevalent in Asia than it used to be.
I got hit as a kid. It wasnt a big deal. But we dont as a rule, discipline our own son in the same way.
