Actually, people who are experienced in media know that promising something and then not following through does NOT gain numbers. Milo knows that people will be pissed off with him. There's no way he planned to do that. He will definitely make it right very soon.
Yeah, that's right. Click bait doesn't work, that's why people use it constantly, and maybe the time wasn't just quite right for telling the truth. He got the timing of the promise just right.
This was different from click bait. To prove this point, ask yourself if why people create click bait in the first place. They want to get more viewers right? It's not because they want to piss people off. So if there is a way to create click bait without pissing too many people off, they will try to do that way. This results in youtubers filling their video with just enough bullshit filler content to keep the dumb viewers coming back. Because the goal is MORE VIEWERS.
Think about this: if you believe Milo is lying about receiving a call from Washington, then he had no reason not to give the talk. It would have made more sense for him to just give a shitty talk with rehashed material and kept some of his viewers happy. But instead he gave them nothing on pizzagate. This is not how clickbait works.
I don't even know who this guy is. But whoever he is, he knew who he would be pissing off and how much when he made the promise, and you are suggesting that when they called to let him know it would piss them off, he decided not to piss them off.
It would help if you knew who a person was before accusing them of things. Milo was one of the leading voices in the GamerGate movement. I did not suggest that at all. You're getting it backwards. Milo doesn't care about pissing off people in Washington. I believe that Steve Bannon (who took over Breitbart after Andrew died) called Milo to say, "Don't speak about Pizzagate yet. Wait til I am in the White House, so that our momentum doesn't get squashed." Milo then reluctantly pissed off his own supporters by delaying his speech.
When the wait is only one month, and might be the difference between failure and success, I'll go for waiting. You need to ask yourself if you're in this to make a difference, or just to make noise.

Bollocks. He was baiting by saying it in the first place to gain numbers. Total fraud.

Done with the topic. Not an issue that you wait for the right time with.
