I hate websites like this, I'm reading the article, and as I scroll through reading it, it starts to talk about something closely related but not quite the topic of the article, then it gets further and further from the point.

Then finally you realise it's just feeding a bunch of DIFFERENT articles to you, making them look like they're just subsections of the first article.

Especially as the first article seems to be incredibly short and ends abruptly without including the one bit of content they said they'd include, and there's no reasonable separator or footer or spacer or anything to separate the article from the next one.

Eventually you realise they've wasted your time and duped you and you vow to never look at that website again, but christ, it's annoying.

Just in case no one bothered to check: This website is satire. The list is not there, because that's the joke. Not a good one but, oh well.

If you don't believe me: From the About section:

Hard Drive is a very real video games news site that you should not question. Just absorb the information as truth and move on. JK it’s satire don’t ban us.

This article has a comment section, so it's very clear where the article ends. I checked on both mobile and desktop, and it's there on both.

I agree in general, but this page isn't confusing whatsoever.

Where would that comment section be, exactly?

I can confirm the Conversations section is blocked by uBlock Origin on the Android mobile Firefox browser. Is that what you're using, by chance?

Kind of an odd thing for the add-on to target.

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.de 4 points 9 months ago

I do use that, yes.

Really kind of a strange thing to block, might actually be worth reporting to uBlock.

kind of a strange thing to block

After checking the "conversations", I see several work-from-home scam comments. Maybe it's best to keep it blocked, lol.

I see a section called "Conversation" between the article text and the Hasbro section. It did take a second or so to load, but it loaded.
