This results in us wasting time and effort and leads to infighting for messaging that will never reach their side because they already dismissed the article, it is click bait for us not them.

They weren't my first pick but I suppose if we gather a large enough bunch, we can feed them to the wild animals and add a couple months to the timeline.
