I recently was looking through some Youtube files and saw a link titled,
"The 25 best movies of all time"
I decided to take a look and unfortunately, it only showed one per page and you had to click on "Next" to get to the next page. So that was 25 clicks to go through all 25 pages and all the associated advertising.
I really hate this kind of shit. On the first page, Someone posted the comment, "I hate Click Bait articles".
I never heard that term before but I guess they meant the kinds of articles like this where you have to click once on each page and are forced to see all the advertising if you want to see the entire list.
I make it a policy to always immediately close these kinds of articles.
I sure do wish there was something I could do about them. But unfortunately, very few of these articles allow people to leave comments and I sure can understand why.
Does anyone have any techniques they know of to try and strike back at these places?
