@mokey haha yep, how many of these headlines entice you to click (only to have been mislead by the headline as well)
There’s a chrome upgrade which shows which articles are overseas ones with misleading headlines to make you click on them apparently

@jegga what I mean is often a headline (even NZ articles) have a sensationalist thumbnail headline, but click in and actual headline is more sedate.
Anyone would think they get something out of the clicks...
I hear you but another one of their tricks is to put up a headline and you click on it thinking it’s happening here when it’s on the other side of the world
Here’s the app

Bit of a commotion in Greytown as we were passing through the other day so decided to try find out what it was. Uncovered this wee gem of small town reporting which made me chuckle. I was especially fond of this bit...
Wellington man Chris Favre said he turned up to eat at the building, only to find people filing out.
It had provided a bit of excitement in the afternoon. "I wasn't expecting this," he said.The comments are brilliant too.

If they get NBN Co. to roll it out, it'll be 2G at best, and be 4 years, and 50% over-budget.

why 4G it should be top of the range when telecoms are already looking to 5G
