Years ago it was a bookmark in my "Social" folder. It still is a site aimed primarily at young single men- but more and more things appeared off upon returning.
The quality of the articles appears to be lower.
There are plenty of trackers and ads to block.
There are a whole lot more galleries- presumably to inflate page clicks.
Their reviews of dating sites look suspiciously like sponsored content. Other categories may be similar. I don't have all day to read every single article.
The entire site appears to be dumbed down for mobile.
Considering all these issues I delisted it and dropped it all the way to yellow.
Way too many ads and poorly written content. Website not suitable for children and is adult-oriented, which is fine, however there are a crazy amount of pop ups and potentially harmful links. Would not recommend.

That they cannot find and deny the problem is, in some ways, worse than having the problem in the first place.
I like the site. It's useful. Usually. But not now.
Found this site through a link and I've ben hooked. People are always talking about the articles. The best part is the Message Board. I've switched from iVillage.
