《Problems of Modern Society》Chapter 9 - Clickbait Channels
Advertisement
OK so, a problem in society falls down the path of social media. Now we all know social media would have wrongs in it from the start but maybe not to this extent. Like clickbait YouTube videos come to mind when I think of social media. Let me tell you... It's a problem and honey this a problem as big as my debt.
A clickbait YouTuber is someone who posts content with fun looking thumbnails and titles and tricks you into watching a boring ten minute long video with no point. By the way, almost all clickbait channels have the same videos and same titles. I think that the best example for this garbage is FIVE MINUTE CRAFTS. You knew it was heading this way lol.
Five Minute Crafts is a channel that makes modern day horror stories and creepypastas with their one hour "crafts." The crafts take hours long to do despite the title saying "FiFtY cRaFTs tHaT TaKe OnLY FiVE MiNuTeS." Also, the crafts suck... They just plain suck. They are the nightmare that keeps me up at night. They are the reason I have insomnia. I spent three years on my YouTube channel and have only sixty subs (wowza woman on YT *shameless plug*.) I spent years making music and garbage comedy videos and they just made three videos that they reuse over and over and over and over again and again. It's sooooo bad.
I give up why do I try spending time on stuff that I get no credit for. Anyways, fish bait good clickbait youtube bad. The END I HAVE SPOKEN.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

My Dear Alice - A Dark Awakening
He’ll cross a lethal land to bring her back home. But is she willing to be found? Appalachian Wasteland, 2072. Jamie Henderson wants to forget all about his ex-girlfriend Alice. Except this nonviolent fixer has been hired to find her after she went missing in the ongoing AI-controlled war. But his quest through the hostile post-apocalyptic terrain turns deadly when a roadside raider attack sees him captured by a terrifying matriarchal clan. Stranded in dangerous territory, Jamie’s jaw drops when he discovers his ex among their numbers. But with her personality split and scattered, his own survival will depend on reaching through her fragmented mind… Can this pacifist hunter make the truth known before he’s sentenced to death? My Dear Alice is a fast-paced companion story that bridges Seasons 1 and 2 of the gripping Cyber Overture dystopian series. If you like complex character studies, gritty worlds, and shocking twists, then you’ll love D. B. Goodin’s outlander opus. Note: This should be read after Sonorous. This story has been published, but I'm adding it here for Royal Road readers to enjoy.
