I clicked on the post in case there was a picture of the person, because sometimes you recognize the face but not the name.

That didn't work, so now I have to find an audio to see if I recognize the voice. But I am not in a hurry, because I have a low expectation of success.

So what exactly does "iconic" mean these days?

In today’s parlance, it simply means you are not a cool person if you don’t know who this dead person was..................... 😜

Certain words are used in titles to color your opinion about the article’s subject, “right-wing,” for example. Others are just to increase clicks, like iconic. You’re supposed to recognize this guy and iconic is the clue word that you might know him and click. When titles are click-baity, like “and then this happened,” I just skip over them.

It means: I'm being paid according to the number of people who click on this article.
