Trolls are tiresome in general, but the ones who post some ridiculously stupid opinion and after a bunch of people respond with reasoned arguments, they go back and edit their post to say the opposite of what it originally said.
No net neutrality.

News sites that force you to watch a video rather than have it as an option. I prefer to read an article, not sit through a video (which usually has an obligatory 15-second commercial at the beginning).

How many times do I have to see that clickbait with the amateurishly altered photo of a TV star with a badly bruised face? Who is the potential audience for that--people who fantasize about women getting beaten up?

Another annoying click-bait one: "Five foods you should NEVER eat!" or another variety.... "This one fruit DESTROYS belly fat!"

Have you seen the one with the title that's something like "Stars You May Not Know Are Dead" or whatever, and they have the nerve to put a picture of Liv Tyler (who is alive) on the thumbnail? Absolutely disgusting.

Self-centered people. That's one reason I don't like Facebook. The rudeness which often accompanies anonymity.
News articles which give you a couple of paragraphs and expect you to click on another link for the rest of the story.
Looking for lists of "the 10 best..." only to find sites which spread it out over 10 pages.

Trolls, banners, videos, have become so much easier to dust into the bin lately.
Clickbait infiltrating news sites is annoying. Sometimes on the same page '15 reasons why 8 glasses of water a day saves your life' & 'Why 4 glasses of water is really all you need'.
Opinionated headlines are all so definite now, they lose all impact. 'Why you must watch this episode for the decade to matter' 'The real moment the current fad began (hint: it wasn't this week!)' 'The real evil isn't in the evil doer, it's the people reading this thinking it couldn't happen'
Srsly STFU.

Ad-targeting: you browse some site for a pair of boots, say, then a short while later you start getting random side-bar or pop-up ads for various brands of boots.

OH NO HE DIDNT!

I hate how, on message boards, you'll get what I call "totally useless negatives" in the way of responses to a topic. For example, you start a thread where you ask, "How many of you like skiing?" Obviously you probably want to chat about skiing with fellow enthusiasts of the sport. But invariably you'll get that person who right away says something like, "I've never been skiing in my life," or, "I hate skiing!" Umm, okay, that's all well and good, but you made the post simply trying to find kindred spirits who may want to talk about skiing, NOT people who've never skied, or hate skiing. So why do these people jump into your thread with a totally useless negative like that?

Also...
Posters calling other posters names, insulting them, or even threatening their lives...
"FREE" SPEECH doesn't exist... There are consequences to some things that you say.
You know damn well, if you stood in front of an actual person, and said these things to that person's face... You would be paid back with a punch in the face, or something worse...
But, since nobody knows who you are...

Sexists (especially the MGTOW pricks), homophobes (Lesbiaphobes in particular), racists, cyber bullies, slut shamers who push double standards, online shopping sites that trick you into buying from them with false sales, online shopping sites that send you damaged items and online shopping sites that take your money but don't ship the items you purchased from them and you have to contact multiple places to get them to give you your money back.

Hey. Haven't seen you around here lately. Damn that's bad luck with the online shopping. Luckily I've never had to deal with a site that has done that.

Hey. Haven't seen you around here lately. Damn that's bad luck with the online shopping. Luckily I've never had to deal with a site that has done that. Hi Caesar.
I haven't been posting much lately 'cause been sick with the flu. I wrote on the Arrow board and was replying to another member on the New and Upcoming section but I didn't feel like writing that much. I still have the flu now but I feel a lot better than I did before and I am eating again and went to work yesterday. You have to really watch some online shopping sites 'cause they will con you into buying from them and you can end up with a range of different problems. One person I know bought a few DVD box sets of a TV show off a site once and they thought they were getting a good deal 'cause of how cheap they were and they had some shows they hadn't seen sold at any other shops and when they arrived in the mail it turned out they were all recorded from TV and had horrible audio and video quality.
