The click bait at the bottom is crazy


...are we suppose to believe Vanna White is married to that old man?

I think I fell for one once and it took me to garbage that wasn't related at all to what it was claimed to be about.

It’s all nonsense but it keeps the lights on here bud.

We all fall for it at least once. I once clicked on one that was titled something to the effect of "see what happened to these '90s stars" because the photo featured one of my favorite actresses. I waded through thirty pages full of ads and the actress in question wasn't even included in the line-up.

A total waste of my time, but the site got their share of clicks, which is what they wanted.

Never again.

reply

Yep, we’ve all clicked on that stuff, it’s never as advertised👎

I used to click on some of the zergnet ones to help contribute to the site, now I just wait for when I get an ad for something that I've already bought and I know the site.

reply

It is crazy but what are you going to do?

reply

We will do absolutely nothing, we just like to bitch about this occasionally:)

I AM FINE WITH ADS...EXCEPT WHEN THEY SEEM TO BE READING MY MIND...THAT ALWAYS SPOOKS ME A BIT.

It is eerie when your data gets mined…about two years ago I ordered a medium-sized garden shed and some tractor parts online and I’ve been getting ads for related stuff ever since, no joke, it’s creepy!

MY MOVIECHAT ADS LATELY HAVE BEEN FOR KITTEN REPLACEMENT MILK...WE ARE CURRENTLY FEEDING FOUR KITTENS THAT VERY MILK IN THE HOUSE.

The takeaway here is that we are both pretty boring dudes…I needed two tractor blades and a driveway shed and you adopt feral kittens…

Man, we are prizes

Actually, you are the cute, sweet guy for adopting all of those homeless cats…I’m just the selfish jerk that wants a shed and a sharp-bladed tractor…you win!

I guess I can now start pouring coke in my gas tank lol

Sam's cola is cheaper.

Tractor blades? Don't you mean lil' riding mower blades, you pretentious, phony mofo?

reply

Yes, it’s a lawn tractor, not a huge farm tractor silly.

"What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? NOW!"

reply

I stopped bothering ages ago. It is never as interesting as the headline and in some cases the "article" just seems to be a never ending gallery.

reply

It's preferable to seeing earwax and toenail fungus though.

reply

Agreed 100%

Those adverts are utterly disgusting.
