> [@Kron](#): > > Unfortunately, the reality is that those thumbnails WORK. Even the creators themselves may find them stupid, but they generate views, so they have to use them. Same with click-bait titles. (hijack) So true, and pathetic. My key example is the serious, excellent aviation teacher MentourPilot. I cringe at the juvenile thumbnails, that have nothing of the tone of the videos. A constant reminder of our infantalized (well, tweenerized) mass culture. ---

Early in my internet exposure I fell prey to a clickbait which never answered the question I clicked to get the answer for. That was good training for me to avoid clickbait. ---

I must admit, I was rather pleased to locate in the early 2000s a short video of a young lady fellating three gentlemen (badly) dressed as pterodactyls. That and some CGI gay porn involving gentlemen and their Tyrannosaurus Rex partners is probably the weirdest stuff I have seen, though inevitably Japan (liquidized and live goldfish stuffed into a young lady’s transparent latex body suit, from the same era) has no doubt gone weirder than that. Not sure how the schadenfreude thread ended up in bizarre porn, so I will stop the hijack. Though it is said that Trump himself has a couple of strange fetishes. ---

All I’ll say before I drop the porn hijack is that I’ve watched the [Kenneth Pinyan/Enumclaw Horse Sex Case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumclaw_horse_sex_case?wprov=sfti1) video\* out of morbid curiosity. \*this link goes to the wiki article about the event, not to any footage of the night in question. ---

Interesting question. According to Forbes, Trump owes about a billion — but his assets are worth over two billion, so he’s net positive at least a billion. ---
