I propose we ban the word "bombshell" from DU titles....Not gonna lose sleep over it, but...

1. What...? No more Meidas Touch clickbait?

I’m all for it!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. Occupy Democrats is the one that overuses the word

Haven't seen it from Meidas Touch that much. Either way I always edit the word out if the title of the article or video uses it.

2. Videos use SCREAMING ALL CAPS in their titles.

It's easy enough to type in a title rather than copy and paste.

Even I'm not that lazy.

In fact laziness is the mother of invention. Take it from a lifelong tech nut.

4. Agreed! Thank you!

It's annoying to see... but easy to avoid. I'm sick of them too.

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. That and "eviscerate"

The two words that tell me “keep on scrolling, nothing interesting here”.

[WarGamer]

6. The deluge of catnip is awfully annoying.

[UTUSN]

7. Also, I'm as clicking as anybody but am tired of falling for all the "breaking news" YouTube pods that

claim, every minute, that KRASNOV has crashed and burned, is dead sickly, runs away - on and on - and then there's another appearance of his where he's shooting his mouth off like he thinks we're clamoring for him.

Yeah, and Occupy Dems is near the worst.

13. It's our version of Fox News

8. See also: "meltdown"

9. Two of my favorites

"That's going to leave a mark!!!"
No it's not. The person referred to most likely will never see it and won't care

"PUT ON (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) RIGHT NOW!!!!!!"
Tell me why and maybe I will, heh

[NewHendoLib]

10. I'd like all cap titles, silly hyperbole and the like banned

There has been no destroyed, annihilated, embarrassed, owned going on. Click bait to sell ads.

[Disaffected]

11. BREAKING news!

Guess what? No news has been broken.

Or how 'bout "Watch xyz RFN!"?

[Duncan Grant]

12. Competitive attention seeking.

Give me 10 more users like Nevilledog or Celerity and I’ll be happy. By the way, where is Nevilledog?

[themaguffin]

14. and ban Raw Story who just repurposes an actual news outlet's story, but adds 1000% more hyperbole

[JoseBalow]

15. "Checkmate"... again.

[madinmaryland]

16. CALL UOUR CONGRESSCRITTER RIGHT FUCKINF NOW!!!!

[Skittles]

17. FATAL MISTAKE!

um....no

[FHRRK]

18. I just look at the poster and usually ignore

That being said, I do see some long time DU posters who post the videos with no summary.

NO BUENO! It cheapens any other posts that could be relevant.
