am I the only one that falls for this?

3 times? 26 pages of clicking next so I can get a full size picture...the trick is, YOU DON'T GET A FULL SIZE PIC!!! talking about a bait and switch. it should be illegal. It always seems to be advertised at the bottom of PT.net and I just cant resist clicking it!!!

Click bait is pretty lame, even youtube people do it just to get money.

It really hit me earlier this week that the entire internet is devolving into nothing but clickbait articles, and just utter uselessness. And ****. The **** is ok, but the rest is annoying.
