I am so sick of these "stansberry" type marketing videos ... you know the ones "click here to see the only way you're family will survive the coming Apocalypse!" ... or financial meltdown ... or how to cheat the power company ... or learn the "one thing" that "they" don't want you to know ... etc.

Then after you've already clicked on the stupid video they spend 10 minutes trying to convince you how important the video is and how badly you need to watch it ... Jeebus I'm already watching it ... JUST GET ON WITH IT!

Then they spend 15 minutes telling you "a little bit about myself" to convince you that they're worth listening to. They run through all the predictions they've made over the years that came true (that you never heard of) and how many high paying jobs they've had and what not ... only the don't often tell you their fucking name.

Then they spend 2-3 minutes laying out the actual subject of the video (usually in the vaguest terms possible and its never as important or interesting as promised).

Then there's 10-15 more minutes trying to convince you that they haven't actually told you everything and you need to order their seminar or books or silver coins or whatever.

Then if you close the damn video a javascript pops up a page saying "are you sure you want to let your family suffer and die because you're too lazy to watch my video?"

Fucking assholes.

Anyway there needs to be a term for these kinds of videos (and a special room in hell for those that create them).
