They choose their content based on marketing parameters - so for instance, we have a listicle on Toyota. It's then easy to sell advertising for Toyota ads, or car parts, because people who are inclined to read an article about Toyota are either Toyota owners, or interested in Toyota.

Top it all off with the most pandering article titles, and you'll understand why I never use Facebook. "You won't believe these 10 things about Toyota!"
"She Bought a Toyota. You won't believe what happens next."

tl;dr: baiters gonna bait.
The sad part is that it works so well for all different groups. No secret that I despise most blogs and click baits for the misinformation they spread yet I still go to them just to see what sort of crap they are spewing. My anti site click is still a point for them and they will make some cash from it. This of course causes them to create even more bullshit and so on. I am part of the problem and know it!

Well, not just boxes. Also, 2 fridges, 2 desks, 4 bookcases, 3 dressers, 2 entertainment centers, 2 jet-skiis, and 3 motorcycles.


...speaking of which, I'm selling 2 fridges, 2 desks, 4 bookcases, 3 dressers, 2 entertainment centers, 2 jet-skiis, and 3 motorcycles if anyone is interested.

I went there & they all said "Manny who? But I remember short cutie with glasses. What happen to him?"

:P

Jk Manny, we love you.

On other note, big thanks to Chaoskaze! You save from this cold rain

Hmmm. It may not be worthwhile to ship a nighthawk cross country.

So we drive down. I bring your car back and you ride the bike (I can't as I have never even sat on one much less rode it).

I'll be honest, the longest road trip I ever took the nighthawk on was only 900mi and it was brutal! Great for your morning commute, but it maxes out at 70 and doesn't offer much support. I couldn't even imagine the spinal/ass damage of riding it across the country.

Perfect bike for you to learn on though Tcoat!

That's good up to London. Then just fold down the back seat, I guess.

Team effort. Could go all the way with jawn (come on guys you know what I mean) and then get other members between NOVA and London to relay me back. Actually that sounds kind of fun. Hmmm plans for next summer maybe?

The FT86 version of HitchBot!... Just don't stop in Philly or you might end up exactly like HitchBot.
