Opus 2024-211: Click bait: Sifting

I’m coming to the conclusion that there are several categories of Clickbait and that I have totally no interest in.

Clickbait telling me about all the problems with JD Vance.  He is the vice presidential nominee and the choice of Donald Trump.  There’s nothing to discuss at this point.  There is no point in more speculation and expressing preferences.  The elites will keep coming up with half truths and lies so it is a waste of time listening to them.  Whoever is picked by the other side will not even be in competition, so get used to it.

Mocking of Kamala Harris.  I really don’t want to see everybody’s impressions and impersonations of Kamala Harris.  My opinion of her is so low that nothing could drag it any further and as for improving it, forget it.  The reality is bad enough I don’t need to watch people making it look even worse.

Unknown information on some kind of Biblical topic.  Just swishing down the You Tube offerings I come across “Is church membership Biblical?”, “Five Things the Bible Does Not Say”, “Where Did Cain Get His Wife?”  There are a lot of these that promise to tell me five things I never knew about a topic.  Usually I am familiar with the topic and realize that they don’t “know” anything either because I have read what the Bible has to say.

Questions that don’t match the length of the video.  An example of this would be one I keep seeing in different wrappings that want to tell me the five words I will start mispronouncing two years before dementia sets in.  The video is 15 minutes long.  Now I ask you, how long does it take to tell me the five words?

There are some great videos out there.  The problem is separating the wheat from the chaff.
