but I was mostly annoyed by the clickbait title that led to a very cringy blatant advertisement "bearing testimony" of Coug Connect.

CougConnect already has an account here and all their tweets and events etc get posted here automatically. The word is definitely out. The "random people" like that one CBer advertising CougConnect in that manner is a net negative despite probably having good intentions. I think that's pretty evident in how we've seen things play out
