throbber Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I don't know why these things keep coming up on my news feed but today something came up with the title "Arsenal fans destroy Man Utd with GENIUS chant" I clicked out of curiosity and this genius chant was "He's off to Madrid, He's off to Madrid, David De Gea is off to Madrid" Genius aye? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Loose instead of lose is one of the most common scheme goblin spelling mistakes. You've just reminded me that one of my FB friends once got a tattoo of a quote on her arm but it said "loose" instead of "lose"! Must try find it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These f*ckhole pages have adopted the tactics of the mainstream media, using exaggerated headlines to sell copies (get c*nts to click the link).

Almost every "article" turns out to be an anti-climax. Oh yes - you can unlike them but if some of your friends like them then there isn't any avoiding it! One of them was along the lines of "Steve Mcmanam reveals why Liverpool missed THIS player the most this season" And then you click on the link and it reveals its Suarez 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WullieBroonIsGod Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Another spelling disaster I saw recently was a screenshot of one of those "facebay" type sites (I'm sure they are scheme goblin breeding grounds) where some fine upstanding member of the community was selling a "dubbel bed" Pish stained mattress probably thrown in for free 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 There is a page called Clickhole which is pretty funny, they mock the facebook generation of today. Videos include things like "We give cheque for 10,000 dollars to cat and he doesn't care one bit" and "Returning soldier from Afghanistan surprises a total stranger." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitnail Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) These f*ckhole pages have adopted the tactics of the mainstream media, using exaggerated headlines to sell copies (get c*nts to click the link). Almost every "article" turns out to be an anti-climax. Anyone who falls for clickbait deserves a crushing anti-climax/aids. You really ought to know better. I actually find clickbait quite funny - or at least interesting from a marketing perspective. It's always amusing the kind of publications that start using it - I've unfollowed Match of the Day, the Independent and the Telegraph for their excessive use of Clickbait. HuffpostUK will be next. These are reasonably reputable publications, but clearly they've hired some external organisation for their "Social Media Strategy" and the result is meaningless clickbait. Presumably they're getting results in terms of increased traffic to sites but the downside would be putting off people who might otherwise read good articles. I had adblock plus anyway so the ads wouldn't bother me. I actually think it would be quite easy to create clickbait, it seems to follow a pretty simple formula, maybe there's more to it than I'm giving them credit for. They will be a whole science designing the ads and seeing which works best. As a consumer vote against clickbait, or it will consume everything.

The meltdowns provide some entertainment, but there is a plethora of reposts of these fucking "inspirational" quotes.

Whitnail Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 This is one of my new favourite things in the world. "19 dog related psychological experiments that will never be solved by your Dad" Lists used to be fairly common so I don't mind them so much - Buzzfeed have all listed items on one page so you know what you're signing up for. Cracked has been doing it for years too, they used to split list articles over two pages - which was annoying but relatively fair. Now if you go through Facebook it's a new page for each number on a list - in this case I open a browser and type it directly, wasting more time but at least protesting such click hungry tactics. The very worst, and I've said it before, is Huffpost UK. Within each article they actually get you to click "read more" to read beyond the first paragraph. Who goes to an article to read one paragraph? Their content is pretty awful too, I have no idea why I still follow them. Maybe because clicks are online currency, I'm getting as tight with them as I am with money. Fairly miserable, but at least I'm not the only one.
