I didn't get that far because i don't care about the intention of the web page, rather the fact that some cnut sees it as a way to make money out of clicks.
Google and others are in serious need of regulation .
The perils of clicking a NewsNow link eh? - if only we all showed your virtuous restraint they'd be out of business! Can you sniff out the ones you're going to be offended by? But you'll never know if you were right unless some less fastidious reader like me stains his soul
Fastidious ? not really. If you were you would recognize those sentences are written without any references or recognition of sources - As has been pointed out on this site for ages and why i didn't deem it worthwhile to link to it.Whoever put that article together did it to attract clicks .Not one single sentence is based on true journalism, rather more a like a perverse form of gathering gossip à la Beeb . As if , somehow they are an authority on information .Newsnow is a hanger on, just like twitter. This thread is massive, we are continually informer about the extent so called 'Media' sources will go to get a buck . Legal , decent , honest and truthful ?Most fail this simple Advertising / Marketing test.
Keep on deeming what you consider is a worthwhile link then by all means my friend.
You obviously feel our clicky fingers clearly need your protection from the wilder shores of the perfidious internet.
Just try to ensure your description of the forbidden fruits is a little more accurate
No i was merely highlighting another negative article about a city player. Someone thought they could collect snippets and with clickbait keywords try to get some money that google might pay by feeding / supplying buzzwords. And who are you to decide what should be accurate or not , especially on a football blog ?
Has the fact that all the media rely on clickbait, aka 'creative headlining', to promote their stories, entirely escaped your notice?
Also, that they all feed on each others sources and recycle others material to their own advantage?
It's really a matter of which of them you are prepared to forgive for their business practices.
A fair reading of the Glasgow live piece would recognise it was criticizing those who malign Sterling, whatever 'clickbait' mechanisms were being employed.
I am entitled to point that out whether it's on a football forum or if you were sitting next to me at the Etihad.
Finally, please don't try to be offensive, it does you no credit - and don't edit out the post you are replying to, that's just discourteous.
