For the love of God, MacRumors, I do not need 350 posts every time Apple releases a new version of their OSes.

I promise.

@caseyliss it’s really annoying for us strange people who use feed readers in the modern era, but I’ve always assumed it’s something that’s done for gaming search traffic.

[kemayo@hachyderm.io]

@caseyliss I find the regular “here’s the speculation about when X might happen” posts to be more irritating, honestly.

[connerthecat@masto.ai]

@caseyliss Indeed, you think the little red update dots on our devices we can't dismiss would be enough!

[starfia@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss –

As a search engine, I appreciate this optimization.

[vmachiel@mastodon.nl]

@caseyliss … I do like the one though. But gotta get them clicks!!

[maxsz@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss SEO baby 🤟

[mario@dice.camp]

@caseyliss but they need that delicious ad revenue with separate articles!

[kevin@doyle.boston]

@caseyliss def should set up a filter in your rss client

[pax0707@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss YES YOU DO

[nizdar@techhub.social]

@caseyliss I am so used to it at this point that whenever I see a bunch of Macrumors posts fill up my RSS reader, I think, “ah, all the new OSes dropped and I have to go mark those as read.”

[stillmoms@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss I know it's because it's impossible to make money "publishing" for the web as an independent outfit these days, and I sympathize with that, I really do.

But my GOD that site sucks so much more to read now than it did 15 years ago.

@caseyliss Is it just me or the layout margins in the new NetNewsWire 7 are too tight?

[caseyliss@mastodon.social]

@stillmoms 100%

[jgns@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss That's so obnoxious.

"Apple Releases OS versions 26.3 on all platforms"

Fixed it for you, @macrumors

[harpaa01@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss My favorite is when Apple releases a single new product but MacRumors manages to stretch it out into over a dozen posts:

Attached: 1 image Writer: Okay, Apple has announced their new iPhone 16e; I'll put up a post! Macrumors editor: No, put up 16 posts.

[marcintosh@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss I don’t even follow MacRumors anymore. I just listen to @atpfm, they cover all the important stuff. I recommend it.

@caseyliss but quotas
