We all know how easy it is to mis-label something: that title on the YouTube video that absolutely isn't what the video portrays... Setting aside mis-labelling, and the tirade of, often abusive, feedback comments such errors generate, there can be the odd brief nugget that strikes a chord:

I'm not a cartoon person. I didn't grow up with cartoons and I've never been attracted by them later on in my life. I couldn't watch this one up to the end.

@MALUSE Dilemma! I like both, you see. Now if it was a free ticket to a football match or a free ticket to an exhibition, the exhibition would win hands-down. I do see your point, though.

@pgntwo It's not that. I can be rather patient. I'm simply not attracted. It's a matter of taste. If you were offered a free ticket for something musical and one for an art exhibition, which would you choose? I'd never take the music option. Others would only take the music option.

I think I'm loosing something in translation. I get your point about mislabel to get more views and I have seen this one too. But what do you mean by your last comment on your post "odd brief nugget that strikes a chord"? I never have heard of this expression before and when I try to figure out the translation it is not good at all.

Odd - infrequent brief - short nugget - small item of value strikes a chord - has a message or meaning. Not sure if that helps...?

@pgntwo OK thanks that is much better now for me. I understand. Sorry I am French by birth and my first language. I did go to school for English and my job basic functions were mostly in English. There are still some expressions I don't understand because it's been some time since I worked a lot in English. I write more in English than I actually speak now so I still do some translating in my head to make sure I have it right.

@poehere You are welcome. Your English is very good, much better than my French certainly!

Many try to peddle one thing as another but it gets like the boy who cried wolf story - when they finally post something genuinely interesting no one trusts it enough to look or care

@pgntwo Like on TV a few bad posts or episodes can reduce our ratings

Have you ever waited months for a download? Seems like it sometimes.

A bit like waiting for a payment from a certain website we all know and loathe, by many accounts...

@pgntwo Exactly. I gave up on that, not because they stopped paying me (they always have), but because my return on time and effort invested evaporated.

Well, pgn, this was the first video I have watched from here on myLot... I could have lived that two and a half minutes in some more profitable way, I think... Thank you for wasting it instead! That one definitely needs to be relabeled!

A shame you can't effect a re-label on myLot, just pasting in the link to the video from YouTube but populating your own text around it... I guess we should be pleased we can past links in at all .

We found it to be quite hit-and-miss where we stayed last summer, but the year before, in Las Llanzas urbanización., near Les Llances tram stop, it was good enough for web tv!

So sometimes the mistake is actually the truth or close to it.

And ditto for the equivalent 3-fingered salute on the Apple side of the coin.
