I know you don’t like it when someone just posts a link and gives no statement. So I’m not doing that. My statement is that any commentary on my part would ruin the surprise.

The thread title sucks; it has absolutely no descriptors. And the OP sucks; it has absolutely no descriptors. Fuck no I’m not clicking on that link; stop wasting everyone’s time. ---

You know what sucks. How after all these years, youtube has never troubled itself to make the headers at least slightly less than anonymous. You a little descriptor to show us what the general heading was … porn, politics, woo, Rick and Morty trailer, something. ---

[Moderating] Actually, no, it doesn’t explain anything. An explanation is one of those things with, you know, words, that describe something else, and help to make sense of it. “Click this link that I’m explicitly not going to describe” is the opposite of that.
