I question the "failed" here. You did land on their pages, after all. You most probably also clicked on an internal link and moved to another of their pages, and then bounced off.
- phoronixrly 10mo agoMan, what a perverted definition of success... They failed in being useful to the end users, but they damned sure made their engagement KPI look good, and also got a few ad impressions on the way.
- darkwater 10mo agoMaybe my tone was not clear enough but I wasn't implying they did a great job for the end user, but they surely did for their revenue stream.

There is extreme misalignment between them and the actual stakeholders. Nowadays the site staff/owners are seen by the meta community basically as active saboteurs.
