General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Like many of y'all, I read a fair number of Lefty websites [View all]Dark n Stormy Knight
(10,428 posts)everything, of which there is far too much in this world.
The main characteristics of my personal neuodiversity involve receiving light, sound, language, etc., as far more intense than is typical for most people. So, Youtube thumbnails with distorted images and language--screeching shoutlines & exaggerated facial expressions--are wildly offensive to me.
And there are almost certainly sources on Youtube for all of the newsworthy events that don't use those obnoxious shoutlines and possibly present the info in more direct ways or simply in ways more appealing to any particular person.
I just wanted to explain that good content is often to be found under those annoyingly hyperbolic thumbnails that unfortunately are helpful in getting more YouTube viewers, often young, energetic, politically engaged, anti-MAGA folks to watch that anti-Liar-in-Chief content.
I did just check out a few of those vids and found that there is often a subtitle or more factual description in the show notes below them, so maybe those could be added to the postings on DU?
