Using emotional rhetoric works to an extent, but overall it breeds distrust since it's dishonest.
The competition for attention in this world is fierce. Even if you're not trying to sell something, you are in competition with entities who are, to get the attention of interested minds. If headlines and thread titles don't have some kind of hook, they are likely to be ignored, simply scroll off into oblivion.
And it's not like 'impending doom' is such a stretch.
Every COVID wave so far has been more tragic than those before it. We would like to think this one will be different since we now have vaccines, but vaccines are only effective for those who take them, and too many refuse.
They all become believers when they lose somebody close to them.
What we would like to do is find a way to reach out to people before tragedy strikes them personally, to help avoid unnecessary losses.
It's an uphill battle.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
