I absolutely hate them. You know what I am talking about. It's those 'articles' that are not really articles that sucker you in with something "What she saw next shocked her..."
You get one picture and a small blurb. The you click NEXT and get another picture and a small blurb...
You might go through 20 or 30 of these pages with pictures and small blurbs before you get to the end completely dissatisfied.
All the while each of those pages loads with 15+ ads AND the thing that REALLY gets under my skin about these so called articles is how they make it very clear their main purpose is to simply TRICK you into clicking on one of those ads.
Because the freaking page jumps around, up and down, and it happens MOST OF THE TIME right as you are about to hit the NEXT button to get to the next page making it nearly impossible to NOT hit one of those ads by mistake.
I hate them. But I still get suckered in from time to time. I try to wait for the page to completely load and stop jumping around, but it slows the whole process down...
Even if I know the end of the whole mess will be a complete let down anyway.
