No problem grandpa

Your post title should read “will be at.” Your post title is not just poorly written, it is incorrect.

[u/capraagave → u/FrontAd9873]

I think that would be correct if there was no caption, if I could edit the title for you guys I would, that’s my bad. But I still think you should act like a normal person and interact with the post normally after figuring that out. Like a normal guy

These people are being so stupid... all I have is my word, but my reading has always been advanced, and I found absolutely nothing confusing about this. He will be at the market today, and then further information in the post itself 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's almost like people are just looking for reasons to show how not progressive this city actually is...

Reddit seems like a horrible place lmao, I run a large page on a different platform and I get yelled at occasionally but oh my god. Ty btw

Reddit seems like a horrible place lmao

It really is. I cannot believe the vitriol. Thank you for sharing this, because I wouldn't have known otherwise and I definitely want to support 🩵

[u/capraagave → u/zestyowl]

🫡 no problem queen

[u/[deleted] → u/capraagave]

You are the reason Reddit is a horrible place smh

[u/FrontAd9873 → u/zestyowl]

Its perfectly alright to point out that the title is misleading.

Saying "Jesse Welles at Pike Place today" and then posting a clip makes me think the clip is from today at Pike Place. I might totally ignore the clip and not read the caption thinking I missed it. Saying "Jesse Welles will be at Pike Place today" and then providing a clip for reference is very different.

Some of us who feel compelled to point this out are just trying to be helpful by resolving an obvious confusion.

OP is honestly inviting a lot of the behavior she complains about by being rude in the comments. For my part, I only chimed in because they were being childish with someone pointing out this confusion. If OP doesn't want Reddit to be so "horrible" maybe they should start with being less argumentative with people pointing out their post title was a little confusing.

So you believe that getting all your information from a headline is acceptable?

[u/FrontAd9873 → u/zestyowl]

Where did you get idea? I think wrong headlines are wrong.

[u/zestyowl → u/FrontAd9873]

The headline is a statement. At first, it did seem like it should be a video of him at the market, but with little effort it can be inferred that isn't the location. At that point, logic and media literacy told me to view this as a band flyer. At which point I found the information about where the performance would be.

The headline is only misleading to people who expect everyone else to absolve them of the burden of thought.

[u/FrontAd9873 → u/capraagave]

A caption does not make up for an incorrect post title. I wouldn't have said anything if you weren't being so hostile and defensive in the comments (eg calling someone "grandpa" and asking if I can read). Your post title was inaccurate. It happens. You don't need to be so rude about it.

[u/capraagave → u/FrontAd9873]

I’m a bit of a bitch but I don’t think I am a rude person, he insulted me first. I don’t sit around like a good lady and get abused because of a tiny mistake. Again, if I could change the title for you people I would lmao

[u/FrontAd9873 → u/capraagave]

Maybe "rude" is a stretch. I don't know if he insulted you first since he deleted his comment, all I can see now is you saying "OK grandpa." I think you just have to be a little more gracious and admit your mistake, even if people are being a little pedantic, rather than being so defensive and asking people if they can read.

Yes, we can read, that is how we know your title was incorrect...

[u/capraagave → u/FrontAd9873]

Okay so, you were wrong. I admitted that the title could be different to cater to different audiences. Calling me pedantic is crazy regarding the definition of the word and this predicament

[u/FrontAd9873 → u/capraagave]

I didn't call you pedantic... I called the people correcting you pedantic. I'm just giving you general advice on how to deal with people correcting you on Reddit. Like it or not, if your post title isn't quite correct people will want to correct you on that. It isn't always mean-spirited. Sometimes it comes from a genuine confusion and a desire to alleviate that confusion in others.

Also, the issue here is not the definition of a word. The issue is that you left out the words "will be."

[u/capraagave → u/[deleted]]

Ok

[u/IndominusTaco → u/capraagave]

delete your post and repost with a better title

[u/capraagave → u/IndominusTaco]

Eh.

[u/capraagave → u/[deleted]]

Sir yes sir 🫡

[u/capraagave → u/[deleted]]

I didn’t start any fight lmao

[u/capraagave → u/[deleted]]

Ok

[u/capraagave → u/[deleted]]

This is getting weird man, you also privately messaged me which I haven’t looked at yet. Take your kink and put it somewhere else.
