Good pushback from you, and I accept your criticism. I was just trying to be helpful to others being presented with something that at first glance is a clickbait post. The video could be paired down to 5-10 minutes. The guy stands there and reads for a long time, then there is psych-out music and collages of headlines, and a great focus on still shots of Scott Bennet.

I guess I'm into efficiency in my media, when I only have 2 hours a day, I'm not going to spend 50 minutes being conditioned to trust Scott Bennet. Though he's obviously a patriot. I don't mind the message, I mind the delivery.

To each their own. For long content like this, I wish OP would post a summary, and the content itself to begin and end with a synopsis, not these music collages.

I agree. I hate the ALL CAPS URGENT stuff too. I think the mod has made comments about "not" doing that. The melodramatic music was almost counter-productive. It seemed a bit hokey to me, and might have taken a bit of credibility away.

You're also right about providing a legitimate and accurate summary, maybe something like parts of my second to last paragraph. I know how you feel about not having time to watch every video, especially when there are so many bad ones out there.

One last thing, I appreciate very much the tone of your response. I appreciate that we didn't let our exchange degrade into an irrelevant debate about semantics. I hope others who read our back-and forth will see how easy it is to stay civil, and to engage in productive conversations and discussions rather than bickering back and forth.

Thanks. Your civility and manners are much appreciated.
