I find it amazing that so many long-time FReepers apppear incapable of following a thread.

FR often winds up behind the curve because so many here won't click on Twitter links or YouTube videos where real stories are being posted. Threads that use these links in the subject header or OP wind up withering on the vine.

It's frustrating and increasingly underscores how demographically old this place skews.

There's nothing wrong with being old. I'm old! But I also understand how to use modern social media. We all need to. That's where things are happening.

The video posted at the OP is really something and needs to get widespread attention.

I was referring to the inability of many to understand that not all replies are to the OP but also to previous replies. Even when those previous replies are designated by italics or separated by some other means (xxxxxxxxxxx...———————...” “...._________________)

Clicking on the |To **| box works well also.

I always said the conservative movement needs their own social media platform. Something to compete head-on with Facebook. I am big on freerepublic but the format precludes any easy sharing of videos and other media content. Perhaps upgrading to a newer format similar to Facebook or have an application with easy one click uploads of videos and pictures.

Too often people post the links without so much as one word to describe what they are linking to. I don't click links unless I see possible value in the info.
