Your views on filler posts on websites (Making a post for the sake of posting)

Post by froggyboy604 »

I don't really like it when blogs, forums, and websites post a lot of posts, articles, videos, etc which are very offtopic, repettitive. or "posting for the sake of posting" articles. I think it is okay from time to time to post something very simple like "How to draw a line in MS Paint" on a proffessional graphic design blog, but if a blog post too many of these types of posts which lacks content or depths then some people will never come back to their site.

This is sort of like the anime industry making episode after episode of the same plot just different settings and characters like how the Pokemon Anime episodes are pretty much the same for most episodes.

good reference on the pokemon thing. But posting the same thing over and over with slight differences can be annoying.

Top 10 lists can be pretty annoying as well since people post stuff like "top 10 ways to stay safe from viruses, top 10 ways not to get hacked, top 10 ways to secure your computer, top 10 security software for your computer, etc." and they all have similar Topics and themes in the top 10, or offer similar advice which people been giving for years.

Twitter can be very annoying as well since people twet about the same stuff all the time like "Doing groceries, in the toilet, I'm drinking orange juice, I'm watching american idol, I'm bored, etc"

anyone who twitters this should be kicked off the computer and never allowed back onto one.

I think they are probably using their cellphone, or laptop to twet about ttheir experiences on ther toilet. Another reason not to touch other people's cell phones.
