> But what's with the influx of "ETH is the worst and you're stupid if you buy any" articles? They get people on the page and counting towards their ad revenue. In a word: clickbait. On that note, I hadn't seen The Outline before and today I've already seen two articles on HN from that site. I noticed because they have one of the worst reading experiences for an article that I've seen in a while. Embedded ads, mobile un-friendly to the point that I had to quit my news app in order to back out of the article, and distracting animated horizontal rules.
