“Scribol - Another reason to have no hope in humanity”

Jet N.
5/15/17

Anytime you want to read something interesting, you have to read it 2 sentences at anytime before having to click NEXT just so you can finish some horribly misleading title of said story. Also, every page you go to is over 99% advertisements. This website should have a more appropriate name: 'Beating around the bush' or 'Flat-out lies." At least you would know what you were getting into when you go on the website.

If you sat down with a group of professional web administrators and asked the silly question, "how can I make a web site clunky, slow, and just down right horrible", Scribol would be the outcome.

Just absolutely awful. Three or four sentences of content on a page that is otherwise filled with advertising. Just a miserable experience.

No difference between desktop and mobile version of this site. I found myself having a hard time dodging ads. The article creators use heavily click bait titles to lure you into advertising traps.

I had to use task manager to close my browser many times due to this site.

I hate websites like this and therefore despise this website. Scribol is $#*! - period.

This site scribol sucks. It has clickbait stories that are mostly false or deeply dubious. Even the rare true one can easily be obtained from a simple google search and clicking on a trustworthy site. They are using you and your valuable time to generate ad revenue for themselves. The more dupes they get that click through all the ad riddled pages of a so called "story" the more bigger/fatter the revenue checks are they get every month.

No standards what so ever. No writing skill. Clearly just a money scam, designed to make the viewer click through as many pages as possible. Do us all a favour and $#*! off. If I could rate 0 stars I would've in a heart beat.

Epitome of Clickbait. Shamelessly crummy content and loading designed to have user click on ads with staggered loading. Absolute junk.

I understand why there is only 2-3 lines per page... To make us look at ads... Pretty photos without cut lines who knows how many actually are related to story... Just clip art. After attempting to read the story for 10-12 more pages than I should have, my tab spazed out; I had had enough of your site anyway. I read the whole story on one page on Wiki. I have added you to my don't go there list. Advertises don't like that. Byebye!

I'm sick to death of this site. I don't want to flip through page after page to get a story that's a paragraph long. Junk articles. I think to myself I would like to learn more about a subject, see it scribol and just say to myself, not worth my time. I don't know how to block this site but I'm going to learn fast.

Seen a story that was interesting, that is hosted on Scribol? Just close your tab now, and save yourself some time. Unless, that is, you like reading a story, one short paragraph at a time, surrounded by ads, which will all reload, when you click 'next' to see the next bit of the story.

Worse still, what you were originally interested in is probably on page 10, and likely to have been very misleading. The story I read had no real content, I think it had just been made up to get me to load about 200 ads along the way. Oh, and you'll get new windows being opened up, with yet more ads.

Tip for consumers:
My tip? Don't use it, run away, now!

They suck. Pure definition of click bait. Avoid them at all cost. Advertising with them is nothing more than folly. You might as well piss away your money.

Clickbait! I give it -5 stars! Who the $#*! wants to read 1 paragraph at a time then go to the next page to read another? It will take you 20 $#*!ing page loads to read 1 story. I hope whoever designed this ad-ridden pc of $#*! website dies of cancer and their children die of aids. $#*! SCRIBOL!;(

This is where Idiot Trump found information that Spanish Glue started in 1917 instead of 1918 like thousands of other websites and historical books/info say. That is why reviews of Scribol.com give them 1.33 and 1% truthfulness. Don't waste time with this BS site. They should be forbidden because of misleading the public.

I hate Yahoo news, it flooded with Kim Kardashian so I switched to MSN news and I discovered that MSN news too is terrible. First time I read something it ended up with Scribol and I have to click Next. Next Next Next,... Next even for a slow reader, this Scribol is annoying. I stopped reading anything Scribol for good.

I hate the slow slideshows and everything is click bait. There is no reason that a 5 sentence article should equate to a thirty-minute slideshow.

It appears others have asked the same question about the way we have to read the full story. So many times I just get off and cannot read them because I get disgusted waiting for the next page. Your site has many interesting stories, but my nerves cannot handle so many of your "next". You need to consider making your stories all on one page, even with ads all around it if necessary.

Takes 15+ clicks to get through some 'articles' and the pages are laden with ads at every corner. Terrible layout. Trash/10

Slow to load due to the number of ads. If you pay attention you will see mistakes and the same pictures used with different stories.

Pathetic excuse for a website. I think we should literally exile members of society that think this form of pollution is acceptable.

The headlines roped me in, and then it just went round and round and never got to the point. A TOTAL waste of time. Stay away.

As noted, it takes forever to get to the point. As I said, it takes forever to get to the point. And this stupid cite has its own problems

If you write articles for Scribol, then you, yourself are a joke. You are not a real writer. You have no standards and no values. Whomever owns the site is a walking (hopefully not) cesspool with no journalistic integrity. This website is worse for the internet than penis enlargement ads, because this site exists for the sole purpose of ads. A paragraph a page? Each paragraph surrounded by more ads than the Superbowl? I kept clicking through an article on anthill art, because I thought there might be a comments section where I could chide the writer for an inaccuracy. No comments section, but plenty more ads! Never will I scroll the pages of Scribol again.

This site generally suckers viewers in with clickbait stories, and inundates one with tons of pages loaded with more misleading "quizzes", clickbait trash and predatory advertisement links that dwarf the scant paragraphs pertaining to the "story" somewhere in the middle of the madness, forcing a viewer to click a "view next page button" to read a few sentences at a time, failing to build up to anything suggested or promised by the title, under the guise and false promise of suspense. The actual content per each page is so meager, that the reader will likely scroll down looking for the rest of the story, missing the "next page" button, and wander into the deceptive assault of cybergarbage and ads disguised as buttons, and this is most definitely by design. After clicking through a mass of pages to read the obnoxiously piecemeal short paragraphs that amount to a trunculated summation of a full article, the reader is definitely frustrated, but moreso when they've clicked through the ridiculously needless amount of pages and then have to navigate through a labyrinth of backtracking on their browser to find their way back to a remotely legitimate website. It seems as though their stories are so scant that they have to drag them on to create an illusion of conent, and that they are likely one of a plethora of a connected collective of similar sites designed to trick people into getting stuck in a sea of ads and promotions to make quick and sleazy cash
