You know what I don't like? F-ing comments like after the jump. What jump? I see it everywhere even when there isn't a theoretical jump. There I'm done.
But there is a jump. Jump to fullpost!
It's just pointless. This guy puts it more eloquently.
Eventhough he is referring to ads the mentality is still there. Users are not stupid, they know more exists because there is a read more button!
Why not just say, hey moron there's more to this story. See that read more button? Click it to read more!
That's a little long though.
That guy's post is totally about ads. We don't have ads. We've tried selling out and nobody was buying.
We also tried the "Hey moron, there's more to this story" button, but it tested poorly.
How's this for long?
Like I said earlier, it was referring to ads but the mentality is exactly the same.
Viewers/readers do not get to the end of something and say, "I wonder where the rest of the story went. Oh well. I guess I'll never know. Oh wait there's a line that says more after the jump. Thank goodness for that, I had no clue what to do next. If it wasn't for that line explaining what to do next I'd be lost."
Maybe the click more button should be, "Hey idiots the rest of the story is located after-the-jump after clicking on this lame ass button that tells you what you already know." Yea I think that's perfect.
More after the jump.
Wait for it.....
the jump is coming...
Here's the jump:
Lame. Was that actually necessary? Seriously?
I think everyone knows the point that is being made here. The fact is, it's pointless.
Hell, Eric knows what this is about. In his skate Demo and Bioshock so Far... entry he used, "Here are my initial impressions for both..." to segway into the rest of the story instead of the over-used, sorry ass, lame, after the jump line that is retarded and pointless and everyone else uses.
Just cuz everyone else uses it, doesn't make it right. *Steps off podium*
This sounds like a rant...
Eh, yea maybe that last comment was alittle ranty. Just my plea trying to let all those out there that it really has no place on the web. Maybe in print, sure, but not the web.
