An in-depth guide on how to avoid screamers on the Internet.
Screamers are a common thing to be found on the Internet. They can sometimes be taken comically by some, but can also be startling for others. Here are some of my personal tips and tricks on how to avoid these pesky screamers on the Internet.
1- If you're on YouTube
Screamers are easy to find on YouTube. Always pay attention to details, like the keywords, comments, like to dislike ratio, related videos, and the video's length. If the video is a screamer, the related videos will most likely include other screamer videos. If you find a video suspicious, always preview the video frames before playing the video. This way, you will be able to see if there's a screamer in the video. Lastly, screamer videos also tend to make you concentrate on a centain point on the screen, so if a video tells you to put your volume up and to watch closely, it's most likely gonna be a screamer.
2- Never click before you check
This is one of the most important points. Anyone can send you a screamer link without you knowing what it is. Always do some research before opening links to know whether the site you are going to visit is safe or not. If the link is shrunk (bit.ly links), use an URL expander, like urlex.org, to reveal the link. If you suspect a website for any reason, look up its name and you will most likely get your answer.
3- Use the tools at your disposition
If you feel unsafe and need a good tool to help you stay away from screamers, the Screamer Wiki is always there for you. It is one of the most reliable and safe sources of information that you can find about screamers. Over 300 screamers are indexed in here, so you can feel safer each time you go to the Internet. There are also a lot of tutorials about this subject, and if you want to be completely safe, you can go watch them. Here is a good, illustrated tutorial that I chose. And don't you worry, it is completely screamer-free.
