Yes. I expected to see an article about stock images being overused across lots of publications, and whatever the fix for that is.

Exactly! I was expecting an article on unskippable ads, or something like that.

Am I the only one that expected an article about adobe flash? :-)

kristianc | karma 7585 | avg karma 5.82 · | 2015-05-27 13:44:00

I was expecting an actual article.

bagels | karma 6530 | avg karma 2.47 · | 2016-02-26 19:22:03

Was fully expecting an article about instagram filters.

dsiegel2275 | karma 1008 | avg karma 6.11 · | 2020-12-04 15:49:02

I was expecting an article that would justify my recent design design.

dzdt | karma 7338 | avg karma 7.35 · | 2015-10-13 14:48:36

From the title, I expected an article on how ever-extending copyrights are denying the public the right to enjoy out-of-print works.

I expected it to be a plugin that replaces all the article titles to either "Vaporware Press Release" or "Trend Article Ending With Question Mark." :P

ucaetano | karma 7928 | avg karma 3.92 · | 2016-02-10 07:37:45

I was expecting the headline to be something in the line of "Find out the shocking way this Amazon-bankrolled newspaper is getting more clicks!"

throwawaysea | karma 3853 | avg karma 1.18 · | 2020-09-03 01:07:52

I expected a totally different article based on the title.

bpsh | karma 39 | avg karma 1.77 · | 2020-03-24 18:36:02

I was expecting a finance related article.

axod | karma 15942 | avg karma 2.86 · | 2009-05-26 11:21:49

I was sort of expecting there to be something in the article that wasn't in the title...

brudgers | karma 49350 | avg karma 2.35 · | 2016-10-19 14:05:31+00:00

I expected a technical article about the news aggregator. It would probably hold my interest longer.

JKCalhoun | karma 14265 | avg karma 2.59 · | 2021-06-30 14:31:24+00:00

I expected the article to deal more with the rotting landscape of the internet, the rotting of our choices of content, the poor selection of links on the 1st page of any search engine.... I am less concerned with the fact that a link breaks than I am with what it says about the content that was there, is no longer there.

hermitcrab | karma 4098 | avg karma 2.28 · | 2009-01-09 18:58:45+00:00

You were expecting something else on a social news site? ;0)

mezeek | karma 121 | avg karma 3.67 · | 2024-03-04 15:36:17

Am I the only one who expected a NYT article about how "Surrealism is (100 'real' emoji)"

lucio | karma 973 | avg karma 1.88 · | 2018-07-14 12:11:59+00:00

How many of you were expecting a javascript-related article?

frossie | karma 5449 | avg karma 4.72 · | 2009-04-23 19:12:42+00:00

Given all the complaints about the increasing popularity of the site, I was more expecting "Boring News, Nothing Funny Here, Go Back to Tech Crunch" or something.

ivancamilov | karma 19 | avg karma 1.73 · | 2014-11-27 22:00:34

I half expected to see the image in the article to slowly pan and zoom.

duiker101 | karma 5041 | avg karma 3.53 · | 2012-10-01 14:31:49+00:00

I totally did too... I was a bit disappointed because I expected a nice article and not some random guy complaining about people trying to do something.
