My latest pet peeve - and yes, it's absolutely trivial.
It's these videos that have these tendentious headlines using all caps to emphasize some word. For example:
Ted Cruz DESTROYED by CNN
White Man ARRESTED After Shooting Into Black Family's Home
Unhinged Karen Goes on INSANE School Board Rant
Laura Ingraham and Dinesh D'Souza OUTED Gay Students at Dartmouth, Leading to Suicide, Allegedly
Trump UNHINGED Calls For Resignation Over Taliban
This is not the doing of the posters; it's the way the makers of the videos write their headlines, and which tend to promise a lot more than they deliver (CNN did not "destroy" Ted Cruz, though I wish they would). It's stylistically irritating and it bugs me.

Are normally going to be someone like David Packman or Ring of Fire or someone like that, I usually only look at those if I'm really bored and there are only a couple I would watch at that. I see the all caps word, like a red flag, and I know it is old news and I probably don't need to look at someone rant about it.
Reminds me of a joke told by Roy Wood Jr. who said;
"Y'all want to get rid of the confederate flag but, if you get rid of it, how am I supposed to know who all the dangerous white folk are?"
