If you like PCGamer, you'll also like... [sp]It's like you clicked this expecting anything but crap, like that title.[/sp]

[url]http://www.pcgamer.com/author/patrick-carlson/[/url] Can't we blacklist specific authors.

Can we not try to evict another goddamn bot from the news node? PCGamer's fine, just because they have a lot of shitty clickbait articles doesn't mean the entire site is bad, they put out plenty of good stuff as well. We've lost RPS and PCGamesN to this nonsense, can we not remove the biggest (in terms of traffic) pc gaming site we've been able to get?

Ban PCGamer for Undescriptive Thread Title Also, I expected the list to have games on it considering this is a games news website, but no, it's strictly books and movies.

This is no more clickbait than any other article. "If you like X you'll also like" is a series of articles which aim at relating a game with its cultural counterparts or inspirations from other media. And I think it's great, I always listen to what they recommend and more people should listen to it too if they're interested. No seriously guys, stop being so damn angry all the time. "If you like X" is fine.

I too like the taste of poop in my mouth

filtering by author would be very nice, but kicking off the entire PCGamer bot would be a huge fucking mistake. believe it or not, this bot is one of the better ones, but again, a filter for authors that spit out garbage would be very nice

Man I remember the golden years of pc gamer.
