Getting Tired of Internet Content That is "Popular"

So, just saw a total clickbait video on YouTube. It had the title implying that the "American flag is illegal to fly in America." Well, two things wrong with this, first there is no American flag, he should say the flag of the USA or United States of America. The other thing is, America is a set of 2 large land masses in the Western hemisphere. While I'm at it, I'll note that "American" is not a language, you all speak English. OK most of you. The fact that they did not ban your flag from being flown, is beside the point and an obvious lie to get you to click. Then comes a long convoluted video that only makes sense if your brain is not functioning correctly.

There is also the fact that I saw no less than three videos with the title "YouTube has changed, I'm leaving." They where old videos and obviously a lie, because he posted 14 hours ago, and the last one of these is three weeks old.

Then again, a large portion of popular videos are obviously clickbait. The fact that they often have a very large number of views shows you how little the views of these videos able to see what is happening and they just keep clicking. Stuff like "stop doing this!" That shit always gets clicks and is usually a total lie. End of the world predictions are rather popular at the moment as well. Shit like "Nostradamus explains why God wakes you up at 3AM." Guess who it is strongly suggested did not believe in God. Also I know a person who studies his predictions and writings and he never mentioned this at all.

It would be nice if I could see someone become famous on the internet without being a liar, or a fear mongerer. Then there is the stupid people doing shit like literally lighting themselves on fire and getting seriously hurt, and they STILL post the bloody video to get attention, thus getting more dumb people to light themselves on fire.

Last thing is, why the HELL do so many people think it's funny when people get hurt. I saw one on Insta today where I'm certain the person was killed. The comments where horrible - all kinds of people making fun of him. The fact that videos of people getting hurt are extremely popular makes me think humanity has gone to hell in a handcart. Honestly, if I did not see examples of kind and loving people every day, I'd soon loose all faith in humanity.

Peace and Love be with you. (Image created with Bing Image Creator).

    Yes it does seem this way. It's like there is a schedule we don't know about.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
