《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.

Dragon: Birth of an Ancient
Deep in a secluded forest, within the depths of a long forgotten cave, an unnatural silence that has reigned for little over a million years is shattered as a hatchling takes its first breath. To the various species that called this world, one of seven, home, the matter seemed beyond insignificant. The hatchling, like all monsters, had no divine backing and with its age, could only be considered a lesser existence. A being to be used by the Chosen and noble monster bloodlines in their never-ending pursuit of power, fame and immortality. However, how could any of the short-lived races, Chosen and Monster alike, know that the tiny, weak, lizard-like creature was much more than it seemed. That it was an entity only spoken of in myth and legend. From a species that their ancestors, with the backing of the Gods, paid a huge price to remove. A heretical existence that threatened the fragile peace that had descended upon their world. A Dragon. ==== ** Cover done by the amazing Felix!*** I am writing this story for a friend who is currently in hospital and in a very precarious situation. He gave me the plot/ concept and, after my own health issues, I wanted to try and brighten his day and provide a distraction from the monotony of their hospital stay. I am posting it on RRL mainly in case anyone else can find enjoyment from the story and to show the readers of my other stories that I am not permanently MIA (and will 100% return to those stories in the future).

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)
