Eh, that's just any article these days. The article itself is actually pretty interesting. I have definitely seen/heard people ise these argument techniques before but mever knew they had names.

Well it was mostly humoristic comment. Couldn't help myself with the picture perfect "10 things you need to know" template. Since as every knows, one should comment without reading the article. That is what all the cool kids do these days.

Hmmm... I shall go now read it, since you said it is interesting read.

Edit: you were right, it was interesting read. Shall press that up arrow there.

Lol, for sure. The irony of that title definitely wasn't lost on me either

  1. Having an image-based slide show on what could've been a 10-point bulleted list.

I gave up on the article halfway through due to the monitor punching and obnoxious ads.

Pretty much everything on the internet is bait these days. It's how you get clicks.

You know what isn't bait? PBS Newhour.

Nobody watches that though, because it's boring.

My "slideshow" was a single scroll, no ads.

What I've learned from slide 6 is that y'all who complain about the "slideshows" deserve them since y'all don't believe in ad blocker. /s

For real though, the article is very interesting and I think it's worth a read. Listing them out wouldn't help anyone.
