A question about .... announcements

[rgp]

Why is it that every time an announcement shows up in my email...... it is a video, and someone is just talking. They [in the beginning] are promoting some health help, that I [you/we] might actually be interested in knowing. But it's just someone talking and talking, they go on so long ,I click off .... I can't stand to listen any longer. What is their reason / point ?

Why do they never seem to get to the point , that they hint to in the beginning ?

That seems to be a trend nowadays, to waste your time. When I look up a recipe on line, the person posting it seems to think that I want to read a mini bio of her or him, when all I want is to get cooking!

The whole purpose of marketing is to get your attention -- even at the risk of pissing you off. Except they're so smart <cough> they don't think of the OTHER ramifications of that tactic. When they clickbait me like that, I take special note of what NOT to buy and what company NOT to patronize.
