I am not certain where the Like-Jacking has occurred, but they always appear back on my newsfeed as though I have liked them. While some of the content the link to seems harmless and mildly interesting, it still concerns me that they continue to show up on my feed and I must continue to UNLIKE them.
I joined WOT in an effort to track down where the LIKE-JACKING is going on. I will be watching this site very carefully.

Theres always good articles here. Do not know why its rated so low.

I've never had a problem with this site. I don't understand why the WOT rating is so bad!

Perhaps not everything linked here is suitable for ALL children--that's something for individual parents to determine. Beyond that, I just don't see any reason to down-rate this site. I've never seen anything fundamentally offensive here. (Hey, some people just WANT to be offended. I'm not one of them.)

As mentioned by others, typical of a lot of sites with ads and links. In addition to WOT, I used Ghostery and Ad Blocker Plus, as well as anti-virus. With only one visit, I don't give a rating for children.

I don't know why people are downrating this site. I've so far seen nothing malicious, and I checked my comp with avast, coming up with nothing.

I am tired of seeing this warning...there is nothing at all wrong with this site!
Helpful
I found nothing wrong with this site and question the bad ratings from other users.

There is no reason to accuse the site of being a scam or unsuitable for children. Those must have come from haters who want to discredit the site for political reasons. Shame on them.

WOT flagged this as a questionable site with Scam, virus and Malware issues but I encountered none. Google and Norton deem it safe. You may want someone to investigate.

No problems and good content. No evidence of Malware or Phishing.

Absolutely nothing wrong with this site so far as I can see. The website's intention appears to be to provides links are mostly fun and interesting for adults so these may often be over the heads of little kids. The negative comments are a puzzle, frankly suggesting to me that they have been left by one or other people who may be airing personal beef? Suggest WOT review.

Just like many sites, it seems to use advertising and clicks for revenue. I didn't encounter anything "malicious". No virus or spam. I think those who are saying it "tricked" them into liking the page on facebook don't understand facebook's advertising model. MOST TIMES, IF YOU CLICK LIKE ON THE CUTE CAT VIDEO< YOU ARE LIKING THE PAGE THAT POSTED IT. You're welcome.

Give someone a fair shot before defacing them!!! Go after the truly malicious developers, please! There is absolutely NO proof they are scammers - I think that is the complaint that needs attention!

An entertaining and seemingly factual site. I have never found any problems with this site.

Nothing wrong with the website... just clickbaiting like 1000s of others.

I saw the site was red and wondered why. I see others have stated there is no malware and the content I experienced is certainly real (video of obama? not fake..). Hopefully my vote can push it in the right direction.
5
No this site does not have malware. It is an overnight site with fake followers. too fast too quick is spam in my books.

There is no reason for the negative red warning. Other users have given good site comments.

Positive experience with the site .
