Click bait headlines

Recommended Posts

I am sick to death of Leicestershire Live's deliberately misleading headlines. I know why they do it and keep saying I'm not going to read their stories anymore but I keep getting sucked in. Todays example is the implication that Chelsea are in talks with City after agreeing a £54 million fee for Ben Chilwell. Bring back Bill Anderson!

It's very irritating and it's not just sporting stories but you have to remember that's how they manage to exist by people clicking and 'seeing' any adverts and you're getting it for free so that's the price you pay.

 

The worst thing is it's not just the headlines it's the constant subliminal  talking down of LCFC in regards to the Big 6, they seem to have a desire to see the best LCFC players leave as that is their bread and butter stories and some are so stupid.

I mean, who actually visits that website expecting anything but total flannel? 

 

One of the worst user experiences out there, and the level of journalism is dire.

 

You're better off getting your City news from here. And I'm being serious.

indeed. Leicestershire Live or Leicester Mercury links are a total waste of time. Even if they do actually know anything meaningful which you didn't know already(which is unlikely), then it's likely to give you a seizure reading it anyway. Avoid....

Then you just have printed shite

Except you don't, because those kind of shite articles don't appear in the paper because they cut it out.

 

If you want quality journalism then pay for it. If you don't then don't.

It's sadly what the majority of free media sources have become. They need "clicks" to attract traffic and generate revenue from ads etc. So they need to post the shit they do, hence all the links of our players to attract fans of the bigger teams.

It's free. What do you expect? They need people to read and use the site. Hence loads of adverts too.

 

Don't get why people moan about stuff that's free. I don't use sites like that (or stuff like newsnow) because they're 90% fake but they need people to click so I understand why they do it.

Perhaps a Chick bait thread might be more interest but may be not quite so acceptable :dunno:

Just to keep you all updated, I’m a few days away from bringing the Foxes Fancast website out.

 

Hopefully have a full range of content and I’m not bothered about making any money so not planning on selling out. 
 

If anyone wants to write, or has suggestions for what they’d like to see then please let me know 👍🏻
