It's not very often that I get really angered and frustrated over something. But today is an exception and I just have to rant for a moment.
So I receive daily emails from a few sources, some of which are political in nature, and it seems that recently more and more of them have gone to what I call "advertising videos". They start out telling me about what this person or group is doing, but they do so with pages of text coupled with a human voice reading that same text to me. It goes page after page, after page, and on, and on, and on,, and on....... It's like they don't want me to just hear them. They want me to read each and every page along with them, like they want me to walk through the entire story with them until finally, they get to the point where they want me to buy something from them. It's generally either a book, or a video, or whatever product they're hawking on that day.
So I've started my own campaign against that. I've started unsubscribing from each and every site that uses that tactic!!
You want to treat me like a child, to read along with you as you tell me your story, word by word, page by page?
Here. Take that!
