The medium is the message is not that cut and dry. All parts of the medium of any scope affect what's said.
You can believe what you like about peoples "real reasons" but i would call the above guesswork that at best, reaffirms what you think people believe, not what they actually do.
It's fascinating that you had nothing to say about the fact that titles aren't arguments and that it is clearly a superficial critique.
Also, if you really think channels that do this aren't worth paying attention to, I ask you to explain the vlogbrothers: MASSIVE Tuberculosis News
Now, maybe you won't bother to explain them, because you think they're not worth listening to because they CAPITALISED a word. Of course then I could tell you that they and their audience PRESSURED a pharmaceutical company into allowing their patent to lapse so MILLIONS of lives could be saved from TB.
Of course, that sentence may have been rendered UNREADABLE to you due to the GRATUITOUS capitalisation. I apologise, because otherwise it would've been ABSOLUTELY worth paying attention to, but now it's RUBBISH.
