It's A/B testing which headline gets a higher clickthrough rate.
They seem to keep the original headline up for 1-2 days and then switch to the other permanently, wouldn't that skew the numbers?

Amazing and awful. Is joy division popular with kids these days or do they think it is just a cool looking shirt?
I was in London last year and saw Unknown Pleasures shirts everywhere in the tourist areas. Especially around Camden Lock Market - the streets are lined with stalls, every third is a shirt stall, and every one of those had them, usually between Heisenberg and Keep Calm. It was baffling. I was gonna pick one up when I spotted the first stall, by the third or fourth I thought, what's the point.

Do you remember those days where your teachers decided that it was the day to watch a movie, but didn't tell you in advance?

Its because they were still drunk from the night before.
When one of our teachers went through a divorce we'd watch movies for weeks. He left us totally unsupervised as well, just put on the movie, retreat into a back room, and not always come back out when class was over. As time went on he'd just hand us the tape and tell us to watch it. One time I'd just gotten a movie back from a friend so we watched that instead. Not like we were learning anything anyway.

He had us do a legendary written exam in that period. Five questions, haphazardly scribbled on the sheet. Total don't-give-a-single-poo poo mode.

Only notable person I ever saw on the NYC subway was a dude rapping about Jesus. With no repetition for like eight stops so at least kind of impressive if he was improvising, but still, kind of disappointing.

There are a ton of train musicians in Berlin. They do it for cash, which isn't allowed but apparently it's worth trying to get away with it, and they're also usually not very good or obviously just playing a simple tune over a backing track tape. I liked the people playing music in the subway stations in New York. They usually had some chops. Plus if they do annoy you you can go somewhere else!

Wanna see the Jesus lady meet the Jesus rap dude.

So when does the series get good?
Pretty much with series 2. They completely turned it around for that and it remained that way until the end. Although I think the first episode of the series is still a bit wonky; if you don't like it by series 2, episode 3, give it up.

When they dip into their more "serious" stuff, i.e. Lookouts, Sand, whatever that monster thing was this week, it's some of the worst stuff you will ever read. It's filled with so much overwrought gravitas and purple prose it just makes you want to puke.
They're usually completely incoherent as well. They're obviously trying to write those stories so the reader fills in the background details, but most of the time what's in the comics is like three steps derived from the setting details that only exist in their heads.

Screenshots and clips of QI look fine and all but just about every good zinger joke looks so obviously scripted. Just everytime I see something from it I think "FAAAAKE"
As with a lot of shows, some things are scripted, some things are genuine spur of the moment. From what I remember reading it's not even so much that they script it as that they show panelists the questions in advance and let them come up with some funny answers. Usually those are the icebreaker for five minutes of banter but it's the Q/A format that tends to make it into gifs.
