About current titles, thumbnails, and language in general

Lately I’ve been wondering if I’m the only one. The situation is as follows. I don’t believe humans respect language to any meaningful degree. I understand we lie, but that’s not my point.

Take YouTube, for example. Most channels are using clickbait titles and thumbnails with exaggerated facial expressions for emotional appeal. Sometimes the question in the title is answered, but most of the time it isn’t even addressed — it’s just clickbait.

Since I’m seeing that this is becoming the new normal, I’ve come to the conclusion that people either love it or don’t care enough to do anything about it. And I’m seeing this more and more on other websites…

I’m praying to the gods and goddesses that this micro network doesn’t fall into the same pattern.
