    I’m surprised no one had mentioned this yet

    It’s because there’s an annoying trend of everyone reading the headline and not the article. Drives me bonkers

      Headline: “THING IS HAPPENING”

      Body: “Here’s 1000 words unrelated to the headline. Here’s some ads. Here’s interviews with three people saying nothing of interest. Here’s the thing you clicked under the headline for and it adds a bit of nuance to the headline along with a bunch of waffling and uncertainty. Here’s a pointless anecdote. More ads! Here’s a recipe for chicken wings and a bunch of pictures of celebrities. Oops! Article ended a full screen ago. Nothing down here but clickbait and more ads.”

      Gee, I wonder why people just take the headline at face value.

        The recipe thing… OMG lol…

        Peanut butter and jelly recipe:

        My family had a farm and my mother loved to run around with the chickens. We would play kick the neighbors dog all summer while the crows chased my father around. Donkey season can be a wonderful time when the leaves just start to turn and the beavers come home for winter. Three times in my life have I encountered such joy, one was when I had my first hit-and-run, the second was when I learned how to make napalm, and finally the last joy was in writing such absolute nonsense that just wont ever end when all you wanted was a goodamn simple fucking list of ingredients and maybe a temperature to cook at. Well the seasons change and I still waffle on, maybe one day you’ll get your recipe, but you won’t find it here. Or will you? Turn to page 36 for recipe, turn to page 4 to continue down this path into madness with me.

        Recipe: Peanut butter. Jelly. Bread.

        So many articles these days add nothing to the headline. They literally repeat the same paragraph, slightly reworded. It’s getting so bad that the first paragraph is usually made up of the same few sentences, repeated.
