11. I'm 99.9% sure that Bluetus wasn't calling Zelensky the "self-appointed influencer'.

IMO, that term was pretty clearly aimed at the YouTube poster, War and Politics 24.

But my main point is that there's a lot of excellent info out there that is hidden behind clickbait titles (like Meidas Touch). I appreciate when posters here, like Rhiannon and TexasTowelie, add summaries to help us decide. It's just that this time around, the summary wasn't informative and I opted out. And now I've spend more than the 15' of the video in sorting out my responses here! So it goes.

What was the "sensational news" Bluetus Apr 28 #1

Agreed - enough already. It only takes a minute to add a bit of specific content that would lead us to watch the clip. TheRickles Apr 28 #2

Apparently, you missed the specific content that Rhiannon added. Scrivener7 Apr 28 #3

OK. I'm dense. Tell me what the "sensational news" is. Bluetus Apr 28 #4

Good luck competing in the media while insisting on Marquess of Queensbury rules. Scrivener7 Apr 28 #5

I appreciate her summary, but it doesn't contain anything "new" or "sensational". TheRickles Apr 28 #7

My sentiments exactly. Bluetus Apr 28 #8

LOL! You're calling Zelensky a "self-appointed influencer." Which you would know if you watched Scrivener7 Apr 28 #10

I'm 99.9% sure that Bluetus wasn't calling Zelensky the "self-appointed influencer'. TheRickles Apr 28 #11

And again, the video consists entirely of Zelensky making an important announcement. There is no youtuber or influencer Scrivener7 Apr 28 #12

Who do you think wrote the headline "Zelenskyy announced SENSATIONAL NEWS!"? TheRickles Apr 28 #13

But what are you expecting to be done about the fact that this summary wasn't helpful to you? Because it seems Scrivener7 Apr 28 #14

Excellent summary: "a new weapons alliance that we're not part of". Thanks. TheRickles Apr 28 #15

Those who broadcast on youtube ARE competing with every other youtube creator to get viewer attention. Scrivener7 Apr 28 #9
