I love how you insult my entire generation over what is likely a computer generated article that is solely designed to be clickbait to your generation. Don't believe me that it's clickbait? How many folks have you gotten to view this article by posting it that wouldn't have already??

Sorry, but Ben M. is right.

You come off sounding like my elderly parents, and I'm sure you're not that old. You have contributed a lot of positive things on this site, so why lower yourself to a particular level?
