Went there this morning but its nothing but clickbait.

The way they put pictures is not "clickbait." AL.com embeds their slideshows onto one page.
"Clickbait" is that crap you see on facebook where you have to load a new page for every single picture. That's why it's called "clickbait", because the whole point is to bait you into clicking a new page 20 times and generate the website more ad revenue every click.

They post these every year. People like hot college girls.. It also appeals to all the alumni in the state of both schools who were greek, and after all the whole point of AL.com is to cover things people in Alabama will find interesting.

Again, nothing new. They post a weekly article with pictures from all over the country. The same article gets posted all over the country on similar news sites, so it's not like it's just AL.com

no mention of the comment sections

Been a cluster frick since the site opened. Comments sections all over the internet are cluster fricks, AL.com just gets the added benefit of the idiots of the UA and AU fan bases.








None of these gripes with AL.com are anything new. If you don't like those kind of things, then don't click on them. I don't. I still check AL.com almost daily, but I scroll through and only click actual news articles. It's still the best site to get actual news from all over the state.
