15. Hyperbolic OP titles?

Sun Dec 1, 2024, 01:07 PM

Sunday

With exclamation marks? Linked to some shitpost from Xitter, maybe? Or howsabout a YouTube link, with no context whatsoever, with a cartoonish all-caps multicolored screencap that looks like it was made to entice the interest of a 5 year old? Sometimes a hit and run drop to a monetized account with no follow up from the OP thirsty for clicks and recs?

Never happens here. Nope.
