Hmm. 5.5 minutes of good info, making us think about tricky ways that online stuff gets us to click or pay attention to stuff that isn't good for us (the audience) but can benefit the creator/host.

And then there is a brief cut to black that doesn't obviously mark an endpoint, continued background music that doesn't mark the change, followed by a paid sponsorship shill for "hey, if you're worried about this shit, TOTES BUY THIS VPN DUDES" plus icons for "obviously you want some merch or to donate to my patreon!".

Maybe I'm just a cranky bastard in my old age.

Yeah, annoying ads.

I got a linked in request from my Dad

after he had died

I was pissed

they apologized profusely which helped, but the reality is they don't actually give a crap

Wait, did you close his LI account after he died?

He never had a LI account or at least not one he created himself. I don't know for sure, but I think they pulled my address book and then cross referenced it with public information to make a shell account of some sort probably to get him to join LI. Not sure really.

When I reported it, they said they would get rid of the record.
