These daft feature story things

[Beagle 2]

I don't know the technical term for it, but you know those shitty stories the BBC and the like have been putting out for a few years with massive images and scrollable bits of the page, usually used for "THE MYSTERY OF..." type shite. Innovative content they'll call it. I haven't decided whether it's a way of stringing something out or panic that people won't be able to read more than 300 words without lots of daft gimmicks.

Look at this one: https://news.sky.com/story/who-was-the-man-who-fell-from-the-sky-11859868

Fucking ridiculous, I burst out laughing several times. Even that first graphic, they must be taking the piss. I feel like there are deliberate nods to TDT in a few places.

Still, the stowaway was probably dead before he hit the ground.

Being African he would have died soon anyway.

It's because newspapers by their nature resent the internet.

That's the exact site I was thinking of!

There's also another great one that has 7000 midi files, and he also makes Damascus steel knives

I hate these things, I might have started a thread on here ranting about them before.

My main gripe with the BBC ones - well, two gripes - is that they're badly optimised so make a browser tab take mor resources than video editing software, and like you say are designed for people who can't stand to read a relatively tiny number of not complicated words. Just write in paragraphs you absolute jebs, I might skim your article about the strange story of the man with no toes, but I will not slog through a ton of stuff which may as well have been made in Flash.
