Actually, change.

Slate is no worse than 90% of the article-publishing websites out there. Certainly better than the crap on Yahoo(which somehow is the first page when I open my browser, in spite of having set my home page to google  <_<).

Disagree. Slate is mostly homegrown piss poor editorials. Yahoo news is mostly an aggregator of news from other sources (though they do have some content generation too).

I loathe the clickbait Yahoo front page so much.

Are you saying only angry white men can go on shooting rampages? That's discriminating! Check your privilege!

I have to say when I heard it was a dude I just assumed it was angry white man again. My bigotry knows no end.

Yeah it used to be my go-to but I abandoned it a couple years ago.

You want clickbait? A German site had front page articles along the lines of, "One of these 4 TV presenters has cancer - click here to find out who!" Several times.

It seems like a no-brainer but a couple of FB friends of mine actually watched it and then were like "that was very disturbing".

Oh, you think so, Einstein  :rolleyes:

If it wasn't such a routine, I would stop. :blush: So many sponsored 'articles' throughout.

Seems an inherent part of human nature. Same reason why traffic slows in the opposite side of the highway from a serious accident - rubberneckers want to see the carnage.

I don't. I get physically ill even when I think about this shit too much. Would never watch a snuff film.

When they were easier to ignore it wasn't an issue.  But they look just enough like real articles to trick me into briefly paying attention to them.  And that's just irritating.
