Here is the entire “transcript.”
“Young lady heard the name Hillary Clinton and immediately fainted. And I understand it’s a scary scary thought.”
You’re welcome. Now go forth and clickbait no more.
Then you save it for later in the day if you are cubicle bound. Maybe we want to see the video now.
Do whatever you like. But clickbaiting is retarded, regardless of who is doing it.
"Young lady heard the name Hillary Clinton and immediately fainted. And I understand it's a scary scary thought."
Thank you for contributing!
Now go forth and clickbait no more.
If you see it as a bait, don't click on it. You have a choice.
Why should the poster have to explain what is in the video when I can view that myself?
Besides the person who brought the fainting to our attention and Cruz's response was kind enough to key the video to the exact spot where the action happened. I think that was rather nice of him. And one click away I got the while action.
Not too tough.
You have a choice to keep blog-pimping and click-baiting. And I have a choice to call out blog-pimping and click-baiting for the retarded behavior that it is.
My money's on hearing the name of She Who Shall Not Be Named.
The whole “funny joke” was this: Young lady heard the name Hillary Clinton and immediately fainted. And I understand it’s a scary scary though.
Real hard to post that, right? But then it would be clearly not funny, and no one would click on the blog and give him hits. That’s why retarded bloggers, being retarded, post teaser headlines to get you to click on their retarded blogs. I just point out how retarded that is.
I got a freep mail from someone last year who thanked me for posting the entire article as he was searching high and low for it and even the original news paper had deleted it.
So there is some merit to doing full posting. However, we gotta think of the bandwidth Jim has to deal with and the stupid lawsuits brought on by idiots in the press.
Nah, I will click and not complain. At least someone was kind enough to post it to this site which began as a helpful conservative news clipping service.
So, it is all good with me.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY what Larry, Cletus and (I assume) humblegunner did. 1st Amendment and all that rot!
That does not preclude us from labeling your post as “click-bait”.
My choice is to make it convenient for FReepers to get to the point of the article and also to show gratitude for Web sites that provide us information.
As long as FR application does not support posting the videos directly, I think it makes sense to link to a site that has a bookmark to the interesting part of the video, even if they have a headline that is too sensational for some people. The whole point of any headline is to get attention and get people to click into it and read the rest of the story.
When we click the FR link to your post, we do not know at that point it is going to be click bait. The link to the original article you provide is supposed to serve as a source and maybe provide additional information. But we expect to have enough information to discuss without having to go to another website, especially when it is a blog.
“If you see it as a bait, don’t click on it. You have a choice.”
Another choice we have is to let you know you are acting like an idiot. Now I suggest you don’t keep doubling down on it and take a word of advice from the others here who will let you know the same thing. You can listen and learn, or you can ignore the advice and experience of other Freepers and get humiliated for it.
You have a choice.
