Every "news" website ever:

  • Clickbait style headings to get you in
  • Cookie banners that don't meet the GDPR requirements
  • Ad-block detectors that try to get you to pay for a subscription
  • Adverts that get around the ad-blockers anyway and appear over and in the middle of content
  • Alert to add an icon to home screen/desktop for their site
  • Alert to allow notifications for their site
  • Multiple redirects once inside the site to prevent you using the back button
  • And finally, the "news" ends up being just the same opinion written 4 different ways spanning several paragraphs with little to no facts or details to support it
