I don't have a super strong stance on the articles, but, I think people maybe have been hard on you Asterios / Baby Pres, though maybe fairly. However, the best honest advice I can give is not to try so hard or to work or defend yourself over your clickbait material and getting likes or making a paycheck for Lowtax. Don't use that as an excuse. As a writer, make the best / funniest/ enjoyable articles you can. The clicks, likes, and whatnot will come, or not, but aiming at making something that you and your audience will like and seeing if the clicks come in is a much better goal then aiming for the clicks and writing the article around that, and hoping for the best.

Asterios posted:calling relevant headline driven essays "clickbait" or calling graphical content "lazy." It's 2016. I'm trying to drive traffic using formats that work best on facebook mobile and reddit. I didn't say it, you did. Or you at least quoted around it. And hey, whatever, I'm okay with you, don't get me wrong! But if you want an example, because you asked, "The new Star Wars movie just came out and Donald Trump is controversial" definately rides that line. And I still think that is okay. Current events make for great comedy! Tons of people will do it though, so I guess that is why it gets the "clickbait" label. My best constructive advice, though, again, is to write something funny, and if you get the hits and the likes, great. Don't write for the hits and likes and hope people will find it funny.

Capntastic posted:I can only imagine what it would be like for someone who hasn't even seen the movie. Like someone really pissed off about NPR pledge drives I guess. Which also isn't exactly funny just because it exists. I can only imagine if this comment makes any sense to someone who doesn't know what NPR is. So no to both I suppose.
