So, this is my old man, get off my lawn moment.

I like the Chiefs. I like sports. I can read. I have the internet. Sometimes I read what's on the internet, like many other people.

I have Chiefs content pushed at me on every social media app, plus I have a hub on my phone that pushes suggested content.

I will GLADLY read stories about my all-time favorite football team, the Kansas City Chiefs, and I will GLADLY watch random YouTube videos about that same team.

UNLESS you title your article or video with garbage clickbait titles like "Rising Chiefs Star Builds Connection With Mahomes" and the "rising star" is Justyn Ross, who had two catches from Mahomes in camp.

If they do that, I hate them personally (not really, but come on) and I immediately block that page, channel, blog, etc. from ever appearing on my feed again.

I don't understand why anyone clicks on clickbait anymore.

Or, another thing that has been pissing me TF off lately is pages that make 20 damn "articles" out of one interview, and presenting each as if they are actually new info or content.

Travis Kelce gives an interview on a podcast, and I start seeing clickbait headlines like "Travis Kelce Makes Bold Statement About Harrison Butker" and the "statement" came from an answer he gave saying he likes Butker as a person and teammate. That's all he said, but it was a "bold" statement. And they use that same basic headline for anything and everything someone said in an interview with someone else.

In the next sentence Kelce said he has never had a problem with any teammate with the Chiefs, and the "article" headline was "Did Travis Kelce Have Issues With College Teammates" but that's not what he said. I assume that they are just crap that some douche is creating with an AI macro or some BS, but that douche needs a nut punch or a clam slap.

However, any Chiefs "source" that ends up in my feed, that is honest, even if the content is poorly written or something that I already knew, etc. I follow them, or subscribe, etc.

It's probably only me, but I am high AF, and just saw like 20 of these BS articles in a row on the aggregator, and it's just FN annoying.

TL;DR: I hate clickbait.

I hate dealing with the garbage threads and garbage posters, but the good parts keep me coming back even if do have to filter through a bunch of crap to find it. It's the internet and it's free content. It is what it is.

Really? Because given your posting habits, I could have sworn you come here to post shit people don't want to read in the wrong forum and then throw a hissy fit to the mods about your free speech rights
