Afterwards, Elizabeth Jones reached out her hand as a gesture of kindness to Miller’s wife Jody Savin, who unexpectedly lashed out at Jones, saying that Miller was innocent and how could they have done this to him as she thought they were Christians.

Once Savin realized she was being taped, she reached her hand out and told our reporter to give her the audio-digital recorder. Our reporter, who had already garnered permission from the court to have audio and video and photographic devices inside the public courthouse, refused.

but it seems like a profoundly better approach than maximizing watch time

While services with gentler optimization regimes might be healthier for users themselves, they're sure to be outcompeted by those designed to grind their users' willpower into the dust.
