There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I only provided a title according to the video content of the only channel I've found providing updates of casper.

He was the same one who was pondering if Casper had been kicked out of his coalition because he found him alone. Nobody is blaming you for this my friend.
Its his channel and his videos, he can do what he wants with it.
We know that its all about views and clicks for channels to grow, "dramatic" title is what attracts the "neutral" viewers, everybody is doing it, so dont "bash" the guy.
I don't know that anyone was bashing the guy, simply stating the facts of what has been observed from his videos. If his titles get him more views, then good for him, I also think the more eyes we get on these animals the better things can be. But, just as he is free to title and comment in his videos as he likes, we are also free to comment on our own observations.
EverSeenSA hasn't put out a video in quite some time, and that is a real shame, we need more of these types of videos not less. So, I'm all for doing whatever it takes to get those views, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't comment when we see things we disagree with, or know to not be the case, the pages of WildFact are full of such commentary..
The problem with sensationalizing things like that is it can eventually turn viewers away just as easily as it can draw them in, when they realize that what they were lead to believe by the title isn't actually the case. I have personally stopped watching channels who use "click bait" types of titles, and know others who have as well. So, yes, it may draw in the casual observer, but it can also drive away others.
