Okay, so WTF does this Headline and Slide Show at the bottom of the page mean? I can't wade through the whole thing. But the man is wealthy and does not live in a hovel. Annoying click bait. Does anybody have any idea what they're talking about?
shareYou said it. It's simply CLICK BAIT, and you fell for it.
Same with "Why you should put a water bottle on your tire in a parking lot", and "aluminum foil on your hotel room door".
They are all BS. many times the person you clicked the story for, isn't even part of the page-after-page-after-page of drivel.
Yeah, they'll come up with utter bullshit like "These Stars Have Aged Horribly. See What Pamela Sue Anderson Looks Like Now". If they do show a pic of Anderson, she looks great.
Nah, I stopped looking at those slide shows years ago.
I still fall for them from time to time, but I've learned to sniff them out.
Some of them are interesting and I don't mind. Once I have to click NEXT > 5 times I give up, because I know my keyclicks are simply rewarding someone's page counts.
I like the ones better that you can just scroll down without having to click NEXT. I can buzz through those much faster.
I prefer the old way, where if they advertise a list of 20, you can look at the whole list one shot, not scroll through page after page.
