Hi, I’m a Writer, and that’s a fact you can take to the bank, because you are reading some of my writing. You’re a Writer too, and you can prove it to me by leaving a comment. You can also help boost the net compassion in the world by leaving me a Like, and saying something nice about me in the comment that proves you’re a Writer.

Gullible people are more compassionate and worthy of existence than those cynical and nasty murderers out there. Gullible people know that when a word starts with a capital letter it means it is more Legitimate and Important. And even though they know deep down that the main reason a catchy title invites you to click a button is that someone wants you to buy some stuff, or at the very least become more aware of the stuff, that has nothing to do with the catchy title, the compassionate, Important Gullible Person will click it anyway, because they will learn that one irresistible Thing that the Title promised them they would learn.

Except sometimes the title cheats. For instance, Yes, there are 145 facts about gullibility. A few are described here. The rest of them, you Magnificent Reader and Writer, You, are rattling around in your own Sub-Subconcious, waiting for You to dredge them up. It will be hard but by the time You are done, O Illustrious One, YOU will be completely cured of Gullibility…

…unless the next clickbait you encounter has either a kitty-cat or a young female Human Being with a huge pair of hemispherical Glands.

Buy my stuff, wouldja please?
