It's almost remarkable how bad this site is. Everything about the site has been designed to cram dozens of the most obnoxious style of advertisments into your eyeballs while you read the most pointless and poorly conceived stories ever put into writing since the development of writing. Totally devoid of depth, structure, or coherent thought, the articles are presented a few lines at a time, and spread out over a sea of pop-ups and promotions that you have to watch refresh all over again each time you hit the 'next' button to load more of the story. Each time, however, you just get two or three sentences of more nonsense and a new version of the 'catchy' subtitle that grabbed your attention in the first place. I knew it was a mistake clicking it in the first place, but I became almost entranced by how much they'd managed to write without even accidentally saying something of substantive value. Would the next three lines be the ones to finally convey an actual thought? How many ways can they present more information about something without actually informing me of anything? I had to know.
Turns out, a LOT of ways. My morbid fascination kept growing, and I kept clicking until the article had fully deteriorated from trashy click-bait into a raging dumpster-fire of drivel so lacking in anything even resembling respect for for it's audience that I felt almost impressed by their resolve to keep writing garbage with the blatant and single-minded purpose of wasting my time and keeping me clicking. I had to know more about these people - these artisans of utilizing the written word to it's least potential, these paragons of inept and ineffectual communication - who were they? From what pile of reddit-rejected flotsam and jetsam did they crawl out from under? Giving up on the article that drew me there in the first place (I couldn't remember what it was about anyway) I clicked their 'about us' link:
"WorldLifestyle is a premier, advertising-supported digital media platform, connecting audiences to the most shareable content around the globe."
Truly, an entire Masters thesis could be written about the mental gymnastics and cognitive dissonance involved in being a part of Worldlifestyles.com and thinking the word 'premier' is a reasonable choice of adjectives for describing the content on offer there.
I highly recommend visiting their site - it would be a fantastic teaching tool to use as an example of how to write without saying a thing. Also a good teaching tool for how not to build a website, unless infuriating your visitors is the goal.
Be warned - whatever story you inferred from whatever catchy headline you clicked won't be told, no matter how many times you click 'next'. Be you might get an insight or two on how to be a master of bad writing.
Somehow I must have clicked on this link by mistake with a cute story. Drawback #1: NEXT button; every 2 paragraphs. How long could this be? War & Peace ring bells? Drawback #2:50-60 NEXT buttons.DB#3: somewhere after button 24, entirely different story! Old story never ended it was just as if channel was changed, but title was same! New plot,
Characters & new location. Answer: ALIEN Journalism & Editors? Benefit of the doubt? Otherwise, Cheech & Chong have started a new career. Good for you guys! But, you might want to check out your storyline writers, fact checkers, etc. (Be sure they completed grade school at best) I'm all for starting them early but dudes I'm still scratching my head! My advise RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO THE NEAREST EXIT. Based on what I've seen of their writing skills, a dog, any dog, go to the pound if you have to & get one. Have them write up a good contract. Both parties sign, copy for both sides and place back under dog cage, just in case he/she has any supplemental thoughts on punitive damages or damages to images and any future earnings. Any Corp. Assoc., profit or non-profit, self starter wanting to promote themselves or goods on this site, Can't you find another way but this site, I beg of you! Put posters on telephone poles, leave on auto windshields etc! The following review is TOTALLY based on my own experience of absolute boredom & bewilderment. I am in no uncertain terms affiliated with this business or their competitors I have not been offered any incentive or payment from any business to write this review.(If I did, don't you think they would want it back before I left their premises?)And Cheers &Chong, I hope you are both well, as well as, your respective families. Should you ever hear or see this, I wanted to really think of a reference of some folks that have always brought my friends & I such hilarity and make a point without totally abscuring the entire show/movie/skit. It was always out there but comprehendible in your hair brained way. Audience could be "totally out their" & they always got punchline. These "faucet drip" stories with "NEXT" buttons like detour signs had me to the point I was going to wing my tablet against the nearest wall. Sense of humor is what keeps us from acting like animals. Let us all keep joy & happyness in our hearts not only for ourselves but for everyone we know and we come into contact with especially now. We all need each other's patience, assistance and understanding!
