Down the YouTubes – part one

When is posting up out and out BS click-bait titles for videos going to become a crime punishable by having your YouTube account taken away? 

I’m a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and superhero tv shows in general. Almost every day, I see some AMAZING ANNOUNCEMENT or BREAKING NEWS or CONFIRMATION or THE RUMORS ARE TRUE! notification about upcoming productions. 

Of course, when you open the video, there is no breaking news, confirmation, nothing. No, just another fast talking host blaring out plenty of sound and fury, but signifying NOTHING. They have no news, no startling revelations and worst of all, some of these “celebrities” just keep rambling without ever getting to the point, if they even have one in the first place. Somehow, these people are getting thousands of views for having absolutely NOTHING to say. Amazing.

I fell for it the first couple times. Because I was silly enough to think there was a bit of integrity or honesty with these channels wanting to actually inform people. But, instead, it’s just a bunch of click bait to up their views. A WHOLE lot of crying wolf to an operatic degree. It’s unfortunate because when *any* channel says they’ve got news now, I don’t waste my time. I’ll wait for some credible source.

I won’t mention the names of these channels as they don’t deserve the bump.

Next: IT’S RUINED!
