Bait My Clickhole

I've tried convincing myself that the ?fbclid=IwAR0p8Fy7K5p0JjVbPlUBn9UBKckRCmy06mhaTzGnTGWQOQSC__aF_HXq1nA's are part of the Clickhole joke.

definitely seems like a subtle sign of decline in quality. Reading the headlines in url form used to be part of the fun

sorry if that was a joke itself, but just in case: FB adds those to outbound links, Clickhole has no control over it

Now I'm wondering if rob is part of the joke.

I didn't laugh, but I agreed the fuck out of it

Most of the older links upthread seem to be broken. Probably can find the articles searching but I liked having this thread as an archive.

Recent posts are looking a little grim for the site’s future.

It hasn’t been funny in a long time

the kinds of sites it's satirizing have largely gone bankrupt. sad!

Questions of ongoing relevance or humo aside, just in case anyone isn't taking a peek at their homepage, i think JoeStork was initially referring to these being the top 4 headlines at the time:
