If it's in all-caps and promises some apocalyptic event I can be sure it's a waste of time and exists only to get clicks and ad revenue. Please, people, stop posting those ridiculous videos, some of which are AI fakes of well-known people, and the rest are by pontificating videocasters who spend 20 minutes bloviating about the link they are about to show you which never delivers on the bloviator's promise.
