0.000 HBDCAPS-LOCK IS BAD CLICKBAIT
I've been using steemit for the past two months and over the past several weeks I have noticed a lot more posts with caps-lock in their titles and clickbait thumbnails. YouTubers are notorious for using this strategy to get more views. At the end of the day, you might say that this is just a form of marketing to get more STEEM Power/Dollars, but I personally, like many others I'm sure dislike the use of caps-lock in post titles, as it often comes off just a slight bit obnoxious and more often than not does not add to the title in a meaningful way. People are going to continue to use caps-lock in their titles and I know there is nothing to do to stop them, but I started using steemit with the notion that it is a place where users can curate quality content, and I believe that posting thumbnails such as the one below are not representative of what the focus of the community was in the first place, but alas what can you do the crowd mindset will always overtake that of the select few. As my friend @limitless has often quoted "don't be fooled by randomness." https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IuWXU7_6e4w/hqdefault.jpg
