 @Final:z:Badguy:shrussia:
 journalists are playing with souls and lives, treating it as some kind of power fantasy show. nothing new under the sun. also stop reading that. because these kind of news come from the people who believe in nothing, and because of that, they want you to have nothing

 @Final:z:Badguy:shrussia: 
this is because people of today are so overstimulated, that anything mild, anything slightly passive, simply wont cut it. so what do you do with this problem? you have to make it bombastic. a lot of narcassism, pridefulenss  and ego building going on too

 @a266de8e that much i know, because clicks equal revenue, therefore you gotta make shit as outlandish as possible to make people click, doesn't matter if they close it immediately after
i never opened that vid therefore the most i did was isolate the video title and at worst only caused more people to find it and watch it to find out there's no substance
