There is currently a torrent of clickbait emoporn gushing through the world’s internet cables, and I’m starting to worry it’s seeping into the water supply.

You know the kind of thing:
This Cute Puppy Was Bullied At School. What His Classmates Did Next Will Bring A Tear To Your Eye
Watch This Short Video Of A Blind Cellist And You Could Help Save America’s Wetlands
