I was looking over a video site that rhymes with you noob today and saw that maybe 50% of the videos that come up in searches for stuff have roughly the same title. Mainly the phrase “This video banned in every country” “Watch this video now-blocked in almost all countries” or something as ludicrous as this sounds. I know not all areas of interest have these phrases used, but I guarantee that marketers in the area you have interest have one phrase that gets more clicks than anything else. That phrase is all over your search page.
I want to issue a warning to everyone. If people continue clicking on Marketing Click Bait then people will over use the hell out of that term. Think for a moment, hmm does this seem remotely realistic or is this person who has absolutely no substance to their content just using me as a human clicker to generate more money than I can make in a year per month?
The problem with falling into this trap is that major companies then prioritize these videos as things people like to click on. So, they become even harder to avoid. I will grant that maybe one in a couple hundred thousand videos are actually “banned in several countries” but not the first 100 videos at the top of search pages.
This is similar to the GPU crises that is still somewhat ongoing. If people are willing to pay 1500$ for a product that cost 500$ MSRP. Then only people willing to throw their money away will have one. If we all maintain self-control and have patience the markets equalize. As much as the media blamed crypto miners for this, we are the fools that paid the prices. Every capitalistic person that sells items to other people for a profit took advantage of you. I say don’t cave into these opportunistic price gougers. I saw we stand up to them and find another way. I have made a list of sellers I will never purchase from again during these last few months. The one thing great about capitalism is you vote with your money. Do you want to make these people rich or someone that is less willing to take advantage of you?
We control our society not the markets or media or industry. We have the power to not overpay for merchandise or produce. There is a limit to every market that if water cost 1$ per gallon and it takes 10 gallons to grow 10 cucumbers then 1 cucumber should be roughly 1$ plus a percentage for someone’s time and transportation.
Social inequality often drives these things, which it should not. Nobody is better than anyone else for having a cucumber even if that is what the media tells you.
Please think about your actions and how they affect the rest of society.
