Clickbaiting, The Latest Brainwashing Rave!

One will require a university degree to qualify for this profession which is spreading like wild-fire (No, not the fires our gloomy environmentalists are igniting all over social media warning us we will all burn to death) these particular click-baits are much more profound, and even more fake than those mentioned in the brackets!

We have 'Influencers' earning mega-bucks telling us what to buy and what not to buy, but to become one of them all one needs is a web-cam, a smartphone, which makes super selfies, a pretty face, male or female, and bob's your uncle, here we go! The level of intelligence needed to qualify for this particular profession is; two pea between ones ears, and a monotonous 'gift of the gab' grinding down anybody's brains who gets addicted to buying particular brands of lipstick, shampoo, underpants, knickers, and whatever Amazon has to offer. This is a low-level click-baiting phenomenon and not in any way the 'genius' form of 'click-baiting' sweeping our brains to new levels of acceptance of 'FAKE EXAGGERATED NEWS!'

After studying for several years in the art of modern-journalism (much better known a 'joke-ism) at a renowned university in the UK, US, Japan, South Korea, and anywhere where Putin, Kim-Jong-Un, and Iranian Shahs do not reside (One could end up in a Gulag or a disgusting prison with a 100 inmates locked away in a cell 4 x 4 square metres, just one stinking hole to crap in, being fed with spud peelings, and rotting cabbage, a staple diet in such institutions). These university toffs, male and female, after receiving their precious diplomas; then enter the fab world of modern journalism either in a tabloid jungle, or broadsheet look-a-like (There isn't much difference these days) to begin to learn the necessary, futuristic profession of 'Clickbaiting!'

The initial months are spent preparing future journalists in the fine art of writing fake news, or twisted news because that is the only type of news punters on the internet wish to read. Then, this latest bunch of journos are put to the test; "how many clicks must be achieved," and if they fail to reach a certain number they are banished to the Daily Star, Daily Express, The Sun, The Mirror, etc, (Sorry for my limited knowledge of US, South Korean, and Mongolian tabloids, I only know of the UK mob) for further journalistic brainwashing.

Once achieving a certain level of 'clicks' the freshmen and freshwomen are given subjects to increase the level of 'clicks' required to avoid their employers going bankrupt, here are just few:

1) Climate Change (Will we all be burnt to crisps, freeze to death in a new Ice age, or drown in tsunamis)

2) Predicting WW3

3) Illegal global immigration

3) Celebs sex lives

4) Professional sports men and women's sex lives

5) Trump, Putin, Kim-Jong (how boring is that subject)

6) Global criminality, drug cartels, suicide bombers (Too late they're all dead)

7) Netflix Mesmerising Series. (I beg you please bring back Breaking Bad or Peaky Blinders and no more Stranger Things or Squid Games)

The list is endless to fill our already over-filled minds with nonsensical, click-bait reporting, however, the trend will not stop until Putin nukes the White House, Kim-Jong becomes the United Nations President, Elon Musk falls into a lithium mine in Chile, Bezos decides to get married again and again in Venice, London, Paris, Rome, and Outer Mongolia, with a different wife every time. Kim Kardashian's plastic butt explodes, Ozzie Osborne dies, a forest fire sweeps across the whole planet, or a melting Antarctic Iceberg causes sea-levels to rise so high only two white doves survive. (There are too many 'disasters' to mention all of them here).

This blog will not create too much 'click-baiting' I know, but then again anything written with an ounce of truth in it doesn't either!
