      To be fair, this isn’t just a problem with not recognizing satire, but it is a problem with shitty websites that are nothing more than vectors for an absolute megafuck ton of ads. That site was 100% garbage. And more websites are fusing articles together under what appear to be subheadings but are actually whole ass titles.

        Wow. Anyone else want to write way too much about how they completely missed the joke?

          Yeah, I agree with the criticism in general, but this one has a comment section below the article. That’s a pretty clear indication that this article has ended.

          Those crappy sites that OP is complaining about don’t have anything separating articles.

          Jesus. It’s a sad commentary on how far society has fallen when a small paragraph is considered “writing way too much.” And I wasn’t the person you initially replied to. I didn’t even read the article because the site was such a cancer. I opened reader and it ended up opening a different article so I just bailed on the whole thing. I was adding to the conversation by talking a little about he trend I’ve noticed to rope people into spending more time on sites (read: getting more ad money). Although, I’m sure I’ve lost you at this point in this novel of a paragraph, so I might as well be saying “blah blah blah blah”
