Are "Funnyand" Readers missing its Creators' goals?
Perhaps "Funnyand" Readers/Commentors are missing Funnyand's Creators' (possible) MAIN objective: To make ads linger in front of Readers as long as possible--to satisfy only the Advertisers? Examples (and how to fix things): (1) Omit the FAR too many BIG-ARROWED right turns that Readers can't avoid having to take the energy and time to perform. (How much more Reader-friendly and simpler would the stories be to read without all those needless Creator-mandated turns-- and why else do the Creators put ANY required turns in their stories? (Other than to keep Readers from skipping over the irrelevant"fluff"?) (2) Creators, OMIT so much of the empty space on most pages. (Which seems to be there just to maximize/optimize ad placement in front of Readers.) (3) Omit much of the overused and very needless redundancy in your wording. (I envisioned me as an 8th-grader, assigned to write a 6-page report; finding it is good-- but three pages short when I decide I've done enough. (I.e., "I don't wanna do no more..." and it's time to go watch "Batman" on TV.) What do I do? Do I turn in just a 3-pager... or do I research worthwile additional content? Heck no, I conjure up adjectives and other meaningless "fluff." (Three pages worth; three pages which happen to contribute nothing more to my project than just "three pages.") Until things improve, count me out as a Funnyand reader. Even (poorly-written) weather reports are less painful, less time-intensive, and more satisfying to read.
