1. Why all the top ten clickbait? That's two in just a few minutes

Many here (myself included) prefer more substantial fare than that clickbait site. See also https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017504201

2. I have been here almost since DU started

and have posted over 20,000 posts that span every type of subject, deep or shallow imaginable on DU. I rarely post these kind of videos but found these two, in particular the one about all his businesses that have gone under interesting and actually quite damaging to Trump's reputation. And based on the number of clicks these "click bait" already have in just a few minutes. Looks like plenty of DUers area also enjoying them.

It's a free country with lots and lots of choices of videos, forums etc. for people to choose from. Are you the new guardian of the Video and Multimedia form?

3. Nope, just hoping we get less fluffy clickbait top 10 crap and more substance.

One of the videos wasn’t even in proper English. Do you know the background of that outfit?

4. Wasn't even in proper English?

Simon Whistler is from the UK where English originated, so his English is a lot closer to the Queen's English than anything here in the US. That being said national pride when it comes to language makes me want to puke: https://www.ebcteflcourse.com/british-english-versus-american-english-one-best/

Pretty much everything on the net is designed to be "click bate" even the New York Times's does headlines designed to get you to click and if you don't think something like exposing Trump's huge number of business failures isn't important in undercutting his reputation as being the "brilliant business guy" then I don't know what to say to you. In a society that has limited time to pay attention to politics, something fast paced that gets to the heart of things efficiently and accurately, in a way people find entertaining, can be extremely efficient in shredding Trump's reputation and message. Perhaps even more efficient than say a 60 minute long indepth documentary on Trump's business losses.

So instead of trying to be the police of what videos are important or not and spending a bunch of time on something you find beneath yourself, how about posting the business loss video on your Facebook page where it might educate a few people as to how stupid Trump is? It might actually change a couple of minds of people under the misconception he is good at business.

5. instead of jumping to defensiveness, read what I am writing.

“10 of Donald Trump's Business That Completely Failed”

IS NOT PROPER ENGLISH.

And that “TopTenz” site is clickbait, by design and by title.

6. So they didn't completely fail? They only partly failed?

Is this not proper English:

Economists Have Completely Failed Us - WSJ

You wrote: instead of jumping to defensiveness, read what I am writing.


For the love of God, why isn't your sentence capitalized? That's not proper English.

Getting back to my main point which you keep ignoring. It's still educational and still does does damage to Trump and that is the bottom line. Both videos now have close to ten recs each and over 1000 views each so just because you don't like them, clearly 1,000 other people did.

7. I wonder if this is the same DUer who reported me for

typing in Japanese cause it wasn't in proper ENGLISH and "This is an ALL ENGLISH site only" nonsense.. 私は英語で話す必要はありません。そのような法律はありません。

8. Nope, I am not an English bigot. But business in that title should be plural, no?

...and a quality media outfit wouldn’t fuck up a title that foolishly.

That’s all. You needn’t attack someone for pointing out a low-quality clickbait source when we have such excellent commentary from which to choose.

9. DUDE...ITS THE INTERNET..ITS

ALL CLICK BAIT. English bigot? I prefer the term Xenophobic.

[FreepFryer]

10. And by extension, the enemy of the people? Sorry, I believe in the US press more than that.

False equivalences are false foremost.

[yuiyoshida]

11. English bigot?

I prefer the term xenophobic.

[FreepFryer]

12. Well, you are name calling, in clear bad faith. I did not call you names, nor discriminate. (n/t)

[yuiyoshida]

13. Again , fail...

No, its NOT being an English bigot, its being xenophobic. The term is correct, look it up.

[FreepFryer]

14. But I am not one of those, and yet you persist. Best direct your ire at someone who earns it. Nt

[yuiyoshida]

15. its okay if you don't wish to be corrected, however you seem

perfectly fine with correcting everyone else. sayonara
