Nein, #Bluesky ist _nicht_ am Ende. Die Erwartung, eine grosse Online-Plattform könne, ja solle die amerikanische Regierung von der Nutzung ausschliessen, ist für mich einigermassen rätselhaft. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PeN... (Und dafür YouTube nutzen … 🤦🏻‍♂️) #LinkBait #VirtueSignalling

The headline, “Why Mini Ritz crackers are being pulled from store shelves across Canada” is link-bait.

“Mini Ritz crackers are being pulled from store shelves across Canada because….” is not.

Why Mini Ritz crackers are being pulled from store shelves across Canada | CBC News

Christie brand Original Mini Ritz Crackers have been recalled across Canada because they may contain milk, which isn't noted on the label and could cause a serious or life-threatening reaction to those with allergies.

Advice to myself: recognize link-bait and don't click on it. And, if a site gives you mostly link-bait, avoid the site.

Too much "Civil legal office THREATENS action against public official accused of being bad."

Too little "Public official CONVICTED of bad crime."

Never enough "Bad public official SENTENCED to life imprisonment without parole."

Darn you, @theverge! Why do you share so many links with interesting headings making me want to follow them, knowing that your "link bait" is to something I'll want to know about?
