Out of curiosity, is everyone of university age good at clickbait now?

Like the whole point of saying “extreme” parkour is to boost engagement from pedantic analytic people like us talking about the hyperbolic title choice



The mainstream, state broadcaster in my country publishes youtube videos of news topics with SENSATIONAL TITLES and thumbnails with close-up REACTION FACES. On their home page, along with the written articles.

I hate what the attention economy has become. Old man yells at emoji...


It is a bit disappointing. This video did not show anything more "extreme" than various Boston Dynamics videos from years ago. And to be even more pedantic, this is hardly parkour at all. Jumping over a gap and climbing on a box has little resemblance of what we came to expect when we hear this term.
