Click Bait
May 3, 2024 09:00:16 #
In case you didn't notice, click baits are getting ridiculous. I read the local paper online every day, and at the bottom of each page they have "interesting" articles. I stopped counting a fifty. They are definitely designed to get your attention. "This food is killing you." "Do this every day and live to be 100." "Buy any car you want for just $1,000."
Naturally, this is all nonsense. I looked at some out of curiosity, and many do not even mention the item in the headline. I imagine that some people with nothing to do go from one article to another.

A lack of common sense and inquisitiveness helps them.....

I still don't know why O should but a toilet paper roll to prop up the sear, or put a bottle on my car tire or a penny on my car door handle.

Wait, wait…. You mean as a senior I can’t actually get a new car for $2,300 or a condo for $125 a month?

No, but you can read all those stupid articles. When you're finished reading, you will have forgotten why you clicked on the article in the first place.

Although I was curious about those things, I resisted clicking for two reasons: I would have to look at the entire article to find that info; that info would not be included in the article.

My experience is that the latter is the case.

Exactly, now as soon as I see "Sponsored" I know it will be nonsense and I move on.

And...you may have to watch a 1/2 hour video that could be done in 7 minutes, just to find out what they are talking about!

Agree, Jerry. I have begun to think that a lot of people comment or reply on these (instead of ignore them) just to see their name on the screen.

How about "Learn to Play the Ukelele and Attract Beautiful Women"

I have notice that many 'Visit" blips present a busty babe (AI provided) on the click-on photos. Nowhere found within the ensuing clip.

Hey! Don't laugh. That actually works!

I clicked on an ad once about a product to fix a medical issue I have. Twenty minutes of promising to tell all about it (yeah…I showed unusual patience then), thinking that if they really had a miracle cure they’d be anxious to sell it. Heck…I’d fork over $50 after 30 seconds and a disclaimer.
Worse, I imagine there’s a college course in how to tell a short story in an hour, first laying out three sentences, and then the next slide goes back two and continues. Quick answer: Little Nell gets run over by the train. The End.
