While we’re at it can we stop with the New Guitar Day threads with 57 words abbreviated in the title?

I love threads where people are offering a good bang for a buck....

But clickbait titles are for the kidzzzzzzzzzzzzz (or short of attention span)

I am tempted to tell you all the shocking truth about clickbait titles, and content providers will hate me for it, but I don't want to lead the thread off on a tangent.

mrkb

We need more of these!! You'd be amazed!!!

The  ahem, incendiary titles are themselves a data point indicating bad faith. The tone of the posts may not follow through and OP may be polite and reasoned in discussion but he has repeatedly failed to reflect on feedback.

I hope that this is resolved amicably but if not I will have to make a post along the lines of  I'M STEPPING BACK (WHY THE ALGORITHM PUNISHES SMALL CHANNELS AND CONTENT CREATORS) or ISB(WTAPSCACC).

From now on, every new thread should start with this sort of image.

The side placement of the footswitch (next to the strap button) on that black "Qey" pedal on the right and the coaxial flexi-connector between it and the silver one with the tuning machine posts for switches definitely looks like a game changer.

Catchy title ain't nothing without some pointing and/or a YouTube face!

I've missed something (probably for the best), but seeing the words 'ad hominem' again is making my teeth twitch.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the current 'Free speech' thread ...

You need a robotic leg to activate the grey pedal and a robotic hand to operate the black one, but I'm sure the AI creator is fine with that.

Wait is that a game-changing QuadCortex Pico unit?! Quick, let the rumours and hyperbole begin...

It can of course be a valid type of argument. 

If I was, hypothetically, debating something with someone...let's call them..."King_awesome"...and King_awesome said that we should all be really stressed out about American politics, say. If I was to reply with "yes, but you're the guy that worries that nazis Germany might suddenly rise again out of the blue!" , I think that would be valid, as it shows that K_a is possibly a bit hard of thinking.

I might actually prefer clickbait

Are you saying it’s a game changer?

You could also put it as "This is new and seems good, could set a new standard. Good user interface and works well with other stuff"

I honestly don't know why my career as a writer never took off.

Fuck me sideways. 

Sorry.

 Constructive criticism and writing as a professional public speaker: that is indicative of the worst kind of advertising spiel using big words to brag about a vocabulary rather than saying anything in a way that engages the reader / listener.

Make your point in as few words as possible and always pick the simplest word that does the job for maximum engagement and understanding.
