Let's Be Clear
I've had enough of the orange man. Can we move on to other things going on, like this? I occasionally watch this guy on YouTube who likes to go after scammers. He usually pretends he is a vulnerable old person so that Nigerian men can take all his money. He likes to taunt them, like a cat playing yo-yo with a mouse. The latest video I watched made me angrier than usual because the AI generated images tinker with your empathy button. The scam is a dumb toy doggie which claims it's so realistic, looks and acts just like a real puppy. In the ad it's so obvious the "realistic" puppy is computer generated. If you still decide to pay $35 for a toy which goes for $7 on other websites, well, that's on you. Even Walmart is selling them for $15 each.
What ticked me off is when these scammers use computer generated old people who beg for you to help them save their business because it supports a baby orphanage, or a farm sanctuary. It's sickening to watch.
The worst part is knowing people fall for this shit time after time. Why!? I'm a cynical person, perhaps too much so. I don't trust anything said until I can check it out. But even if I was the average, kind hearted soul who looks for the positive rather than being me, come on already! You can't see this is fake!?
I sometimes feel shitty because I can't be more trusting because I lose possible friendships and possible readership to my blog because I cannot keep my mouth shut when I see stupid things.
I'm sorry, Mrs Betty Bowers, I just don't think you should make up quotes and pass them on as true, knowing many of your readers will believe everything you say.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Brown that you got offended when I want writers to stop treating their audience like lunkheads. "Let's be clear." No, be vague.
I'm sorry, Piso Miso I didn't like your post blaming women for weeny men going over to the dark side.
I know I should just shut up and let stupid people be taken for everything they have. I'm not Pleasant Green who has a blog which draws attention to scammers whilst also shilling for his sponsor and making money on YouTube. At least he isn't selling puppies. He finally received his order and was not surprised that they were just cheaply made, battery operated crap. He was going to return them but his daughter liked them. A lot. So, he ate $60 because he bought two.
Oh well, there's a sucker born every day. Especially suckers who have kids, the biggest cons created.
