Oh do fuck off.

Has anyone ever clicked on one of this links and actually shared the amazement/joy/wonder etc of the original poster?

Of course not and yet I fall for it every time [hmmm]

I think we need to come up with our own Mumsnet versions!

Anyone know what that one diet tip is that will help lose weight that my doctor doesn't want me to know about? Unless it's something like 'become a heroin addict' I'm not sure my doctor would be that bothered.

You've been baking potatoes wrong your whole life.....

"Is this like the poster who turned her cat into a tiny lion?"

Hahaha brilliant!

Frostycake · 17/05/2016 13:29

They annoy me too. Have you ever clicked on one though and noticed that, at the bottom left of the page, they're taking you through dozens of other advertising sites before they show you the next photo (and sometimes even before the first photo has loaded). It's all advertising click bait.

MrsGideon · 17/05/2016 13:29

BastardGoDarkly YES! I pointedly ignore any 'article' (usually on Buzzfeed) that includes the words "you've been doing X wrong your whole life"

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU TWATS

CauliflowerBalti · 17/05/2016 13:30

Annoying as fuck. I particularly hate the 'She...' construct.

And I still click on them. Fuck's sake.

HowBadIsThisPlease · 17/05/2016 13:31

I have started writing my agendas at work in this style as people are so jaded by constant clickbait, they won't pay attention to anything else.

I never look at the adverts. I know they are there. I just don't look. I don't at the adverts here either. They are literally wallpaper. On this basis, I don't know how the clicking through 36 pages of shit to not see an photo of Kate Middleton's left tit even generate income.

LadyReuleaux · 17/05/2016 13:34

I never get the "Dermatologists HATE HER!" thing. Because wouldn't dermatologists want you to improve your skin? Can they really be such bastards?

10 THINGS YOU DIDNT SEE COMING AFTER LEAVING A WET TOWEL ON THE FLOOR

LadyReuleaux · 17/05/2016 13:37

In my more baitable days I did used to click on things like "33 dogs that EXIST IN REAL LIFE" and be really pissed off that they never seemed to include the REALLY interesting-looking "bait" pic next to the headline that you clicked on. There would be 33 kind of crappy dogs and you never get to see the really tantalisingly weird one after all.

Gah

LucyBabs · 17/05/2016 13:40

A friend on FB posted this morning.
"Did you know drinking Pepsi and eating mint mentos creates CYANIDE yes CYANIDE in your blood stream" "Click her to see how"
Agghhhh!

She decided to clean out the toddler's wardrobe you won't BELIEVE what she found!

TrevorTheWeather · 17/05/2016 13:44

She is 51! She looks 25!

It appears the way she's achieving this is to shed her skin like some kind of reptile-human hybrid!

GloGirl · 17/05/2016 13:44

Find out how this fat white man bulked up and looks HOT. Just 3 minutes a day! ignore the fact in the pictures he has changed ethnicity

I would also like to say that MNHQ is now totally guilty of this on their Facebook page and posts 3 threads a day and it is driving me crazy.

GarlicShake · 17/05/2016 13:46

Howbad that is BRILLIANT Grin

Or, dare I say ... ? Everyone ignored her agendas. Then she hit on this idea! [picture of pretty firework exploding out of a manila folder]

Penisbeaker, you video made me - momentarily - think I really needed to boil inside-out eggs. Luckily I then realised there is no need whatsoever.

GarlicShake · 17/05/2016 13:48

MNHQ is now totally guilty of this - They've started doing it on the recipe videos too. The other night I almost thought I needed to make some kind of chocolate dessert (You won't believe how quick it is) until I remembered I already know how to make easy chocolate desserts. And hardly ever eat them, anyway.

liletsthepink · 17/05/2016 13:49

Majorly scared, for most people with children it should be: 'She looks 51 but is actually 25' Smile

stealthsquiggle · 17/05/2016 13:50

HowBad that is inspired.

My energy for agenda writing has just been miraculously restored.

wol1968 · 17/05/2016 13:51

I was disappointed by the 'What These Celebrities Look Like Now Is Insane!' ones. I was hoping to see that Lindsay Lohan had legitimately turned into a hyena or that Carol Vorderman had taken something that had completely reversed the ageing process and turned her into a 5-year old...instead they all looked, erm, a bit older and heavier. Oh well. Grin

squizita · 17/05/2016 13:53

She asked AIBU and got THIS RESPONSE.

She took an ORDINARY CHICKEN when I saw what she did with it I fainted!

LemonBreeland · 17/05/2016 13:55

I am actually crying laughing and I've only got half way down the first page. These things really piss me off.
