(38,010 posts)1. I wish I had a hundred dollars for every
"Breaking News" "Bombshell" Devistating News" or so and so Destroyed someone on this site. They are always accompanied by a 15 minute or more video that says nothing of the sort.

No context, no nothing. Click, rec, monetize. Lather, rinse, repeat.
