I don't get the WebMD hate. It's leagues ahead of Healthline.
WebMD is full of doctors. The gov and AMA should be sanctioning doctors for abuse of license if the content is bad.
- joegahona 4y agoThe atrocious UX isn't helping. Paginated articles, popups, autoplay ads within the well of content... these tactics put you in a bad neighborhood with bot-farm-type sites, no matter how many doctors are involved in the actual content creation.
- lupire 4y agoIf you don't use an ad blocker it's your own fault. Paginated articles are not a hill to die on.
- ksdale 4y agoI don't really get it either. My biggest complaint is that they tell you to go see the doctor for everything and 9/10 of the time the doctor will tell you to go home and take ibuprofen and see what happens. I think it's generally possible to tell, based on what's provided on WebMD, what symptoms would cause a doctor to recommend an immediate trip to the ER or surgery or pharmaceuticals. It's required learning more than I would otherwise know about how my organs function, but I also don't think I know like... an exceptional amount about the human body.
