However, the first impression that I received from your reply is that I should drop one blogger and start using Spot Gamma instead. More than half of your reply was discouraging other members not to watch the video that I posted, so if you want to call it diverting rather than hijacking then I won't have any issue.

I don't know whether I'll review the video you posted or not--that's why I suggest that you post your own OP. However, I will point out that I've been posting Joe Blogs for over three years on DU. Love him or hate him, that brings familiarity and with that the knowledge to separate reality from hysteria. Unless you (and many others) are willing to make that type of commitment to familiarize the audience with the content creator, then it is going to be difficult for Spot Gamma to establish any traction on DU considering their subscriber base is less than 10% of Joe Blogs.

My apologies if you consider it clickbait--others will call it successful marketing. It's a matter of perspective.
