Something that I don't understand about so many posts on DU over the last 8 (or more?) years [View all]

So many hyperbolic titles - so many capital letters. This one has been owned, that one is in serious trouble. They are not headlines created by DUers (I am sure they are copy/pastes of actual titles) - but in all this time, has any of these actually come true?

(True confession - I read nothing with hyperbolic OP titles, capital letters, lots of exclamation marks, etc. I actually don't watch any videos, or read anything designated as coming from sites such as Xitter - the blue or red square OPs).)

I am sure my post won't be popular among quite a few DUers - it is a bit "get off my lawn" and these days I feel like a cranky old thing - but it is just something that has irked me for a long time.

And I am not saying to stop posting them - I won't criticize a DUer for anything they post. We all have the right to click on and read what we wish.

But I am just curious as to whether these hyperbolic type, too good to be true posts are only an irritation to me. I guess the "boy has cried wolf too many times" - and the wolves are truly in the henhouse now!

OK - back to making a pumpkin loaf...and it is put the lights on the bushes day. Have a good one, all!
