6. The click bait is out of control
Sun Oct 12, 2025, 06:06 PM
Oct 2025

Most of the videos feature no more than someone regurgitating stories from various news outlets, with little or no analysis, nothing new or interesting. It is manipulative and dishonest. It is counterproductive. They are grifting off of the people who are already opposed to Trump and MAGA.

People are profiteering from this unfolding humanitarian crisis. It is depraved.
