      I just wish youtube titles were less… corrupt?

      Like every youtube title now is

      • “Everything you’ve been told about this thing a lie”
      • “It’s much worse than you think”
      • “This new thing is insane”
      • “This politician is absolutely PANICKING”
      • “The truth about this thing”

      There’s others like “Why this thing is happening”, but they don’t bother me,
      because it the video matches the title and it doesn’t assume things about me,
      like what I’ve been told, how bad I think something is, what I consider insane,
      what the narrator thinks was the ‘lie’ compared to the ‘truth’ and what the
      narrator considers ‘panicking’.

        Clickbait gets views, and in this instance is meant directly towards liberals that oppose Cuba. It’s a necessary evil.
