(42,862 posts)The bait looks interesting (ie: something outrageous a public official said) and in the 10-minute video, it's a full 7 minutes of Packman droning on and on and on (so many words to say so little) and a 30-second clip of whatever it was he was talking about... and a two minute ad for the sponsor.
It's total SPAM.
Alberto's thumbnails make it look as though it's a genuine MSNBC or CNN clip... but when you click on it, it's not what was shown. Instead it's the Alberto show with more talk-talk-talk and perhaps 15-seconds of CNN or MSNBC's content... then more talk-talk-talk.
ABSOLUTELY, it's clickbait. It's cheap and it's deceptive and it's dishonest.
These youtube businesses know what they're doing. They PURPOSELY CHOOSE THE DECEPTIVE THUMBNAIL IMAGE to make it appear as though the content is actually from CNN or MNSBC or CSPAN. But as soon as you click, you get Rick-Rolled.
Gotcha again!
