My comment about you sounding pretentious was in regards to
It’s a well known concept
I was asking you to clarify what you were talking about and you immediately came off as demeaning and full of yourself.
I don’t know if your explanation relates to ethics and the news, consent, or clickbait. Without knowing what you are talking about I couldn’t even argue with you if I wanted to.
I did no such thing. It is a well known concept whether you are aware of it or not. Just as there are tons of things that are well known to many people, but not to me. This does not change the fact that it’s well known.
Instead of accusing people of being pretentious, you could instead just ask what they meant. You might get a better response as people aren’t obligated to respond in kindness to insults.

My original comment was asking “What do you mean?”. I asked someone else what you could have meant and they explained it as “It means if you have to ask whether something is ethically okay than there’s a strong chance it isn’t”. You could have just explained the expression.
