Title: Another Subscription Grift? You Gotta Be Kidding Me.
So, I see this headline, right? "Ore Oduba: what a 30-year porn addiction did to me and why I’m speaking out." And my first thought is, "Who the hell is Ore Oduba, and why should I give a damn about his… issues?" Seriously, I'm supposed to care about some celebrity's personal struggles? Give me a break.
Then I click the damn thing, because, well, curiosity gets the better of us all, doesn't it? And what do I find? No juicy details, no heartfelt confession, no anything about Ore Oduba's supposed porn addiction. Just a goddamn notice telling me my subscription payment didn't go through.
The Bait-and-Switch of the Century
This ain't journalism; it's clickbait at its finest. Or, should I say, its absolute worst. They dangle a scandalous headline in front of your face, reel you in with the promise of dirt, and then hit you with a subscription renewal notice. It's like going to a restaurant expecting a steak and getting served a plate of Spam.
And the gall of it! "We've tried to contact you several times..." Yeah, I bet you have. Probably buried in a mountain of spam emails I automatically delete. They expect us to believe this nonsense, and honestly...
It's the digital equivalent of those "You've Won!" scams that used to clog up our mailboxes. Except instead of a fake check, they're offering access to… what, exactly? More clickbait articles about celebrities I've never heard of?
Who Falls for This Crap?
I honestly wanna know: who is actually paying for this garbage? Who sees a headline like that and thinks, "Oh boy, I can't wait to read about this! Better renew my subscription immediately!"?
Are people really this gullible? Or are they just so desperate for entertainment that they're willing to throw money at anything that promises a momentary distraction from the crushing weight of existence? Maybe I'm just out of touch.
And let's be real, the internet is drowning in content. Free content, at that. So why pay for this drivel? It's like paying for air when you can just step outside and breathe.
Offcourse, maybe I'm missing something. Maybe there's some hidden value to these subscriptions that I'm just not seeing. But I doubt it.
The Future of Online Media: A Race to the Bottom?
This whole thing just makes me wonder where online media is headed. Is this the future? A never-ending stream of clickbait headlines and subscription traps? Are we doomed to scroll through an endless feed of sensationalized garbage, all designed to squeeze a few more dollars out of our wallets?
I mean, where's the line? How low are these companies willing to go to get our attention? Will we eventually see headlines like "Breaking News: Your Pet Goldfish Has Cancer! Renew Your Subscription for Details!"? Okay, maybe that's a bit extreme, but you get my point.
Enough is Enough
I'm done. I'm unsubscribing from whatever publication this came from, and I'm warning everyone I know to do the same. This isn't journalism; it's a scam. And I'm not gonna stand for it.
