when you see an article that looks interesting

but you soon realise its gonna be a slideshow with a click for every paragraph, do you immediately drop it or continu to read and click. I never read slideshow-type articles.

Drop it like the plague. I hate that. Don't try to get extra clicks from me, you greedy media people. Post the article on one page or GTFO!

@SumKindaMunster IKR, each page has one small paragraph to read and the rest is all advertisement, the amount of publicity this type of article exposes us to equates to so much more money for them.

I totally agree. And it's always, "39 Reasons..." How many slides? No, thanks. It probably says something about modern-day attention spans.

@Graylight I think its about exposing us to a maximum amount of publicity.

I bet they know that people don't click through them all and only come up with a small fraction of the list they claim.

@KingofPizza2 you're probably right but think how much more publicity you are exposed to after clicking though even half of it.
