    You won't believe what this thread says!

    ....Does anybody hate what news and sites have lowered themselves down to?

    Whenever I read those titles I just cringe and the LAST thing I do is click it.
    What is next? Putting " WE'LL GIVE YOU MONEY IF YOU CLICK THIS LINK!"

    "This person is in X situation, you won't believe what happens next!"

    Yes, I am so fucking sick and tired of that crap. Back when they actually put a real synopsis in the titles, I still freaking clicked on them. Now they make me NOT want to click on them.

    "Man goes to Niagara falls, jumps in and lives!"
    "Man goes to Niagara falls, you won't believe what happens!"

    The first one is far more eye-catching to me. The second one just screams gimmick.

    Good god I hate this crap...

    I've been unliking pages on facebook for linking that crap...
    Bad enough my news feed was turning into just pages I liked so I could look at funny pictures/videos and none of my friends posts, but now they want me to go to their silly links to these weird sites to view the same crap I was already viewing on their facebook pages...
