Get rid of Boredom Therapy
Boredom therapy is not news and it wastes 11 screens to get an answer.
It is ridiculous and NOT NEWS for AOL.

So tired of Boredom Therapy and other sites like them where you have to click over and over again to get to the actual part of the article you wanted to see. What a waste. Now when I see that it is a "Boredom Therapy" article, I just don't bother.

Please quit using Boredom Therapy and Scribal for articles. I can't stand the "next" button to get to the meat of the fricken story! Anytime I see an article with those names as the reporting party, Im out...won't be long and I am going to quit AOL because of it and because alot of your articles/pics are obviously coming from the left/Trump hating side. Ridiculous,

Please stop posting items from Boredom Therapy and others where you have to keep clicking on next. Just tell us the story on one page only! And quit moving the next box up and down forcing you to click on ads we don't want to see. It's infuriating!

Boredom Therapy articles turn AOL into a grocery store tabloid.

The Boredom Therapy, and all the others like them, are disgusting and only show illiteracy on the part of the reporter...it shows all they can do is write things that don't relate to the subject of the post. The jist of the story could be accomplished in one screen. The ads pop up right in the middle of the story making the "Next" link jump all over making us click on what we don't want to see. I don't even read them any more as they take WAY too much of my time.

Not really news...most of the articles are BOREDOM therapy ...so must be for those who have nothing else to do but click through 20 pages of ads for one small paragraph in each page...so your advertisers are absolutely wasting their $$ as as soon as I see BOREDOM...I go out of the "article"...as other friends have told me they do.
Also, why would your designers put a ad OVER the few articles you do not have under BOREDOM ...therefore you cannot read it.... basically you can use AOL to read email and search the web ... everything else is useless. -

This Boredom Therapy makes me crazy trying to view/read it because of the intrusion of pop up adverts but one is particularly invasive and makes me pass up BT.
The advert is the big pop up from the lower left hand corner from Advantis Video. It takes a few seconds to appear and cannot be closed. I can live with the other pop ups but as soon as the Advantis Video appears I discontinue/close the Boredom Therapy.
Please discontinue the use of the Advantis Video in Boredom Therapy.

clean up that site. Too many ads, too many 'jumps' when trying to get to the "next" short part of the story - gets to where one needs a therapist to try to read some of the things you present. They COULD be enjoyable, I consider them mind warping.

Scribol and New Ravel are chasing readers away with their "click bait". It's bad enough that they offer the deliberately stuffed articles in one sentence increments .. but each stingy sentence requires yet another "scroll". And to hit the "Next" button, you need a microscope to hit the exact middle of the tag .. otherwise another ad will pop up. Slowly the ads have been moved closer to that "next" button to make sure we get junk we don't want. When I see Scribol or New Ravel, I know it's junk. I pick out the teaser item and Google it. AOL is going down the tube with poor writing, badly researched articles and "cheating" tricks.
For the record the only ad I remember is Geico. Because it's clever. Not a single other ad. -

get rid of Honest Paws, Scribol, Boredom Therapy. The way we have to read the article is ridiculous..hitting "next" over and over to get to the end of the article. I quit as soon as I click on the ariticle and see its format is that..Please change this. I feel like quitting aol because of it.

If AOL is paying for links to other sites (e.g., Boredom Therapy) you might as well stop because you cover them in ads so nobody wants to stay. You can't read them for your ads. So what is the point?

One of the best things about AOL is the forums, but some of the sections and articles do not allow for forums. There is so much I would have liked to reply to and discuss in Boredom Therapy, for instance. I think that every article/section should have room for posting by readers.

Boredom therapy, paws and scribol are not news and take forever to get to the end of a useless story.

Get rid of boredom therapy and scribol. They are not NEWS.
Bring back all of the enhancements of v 98.2 which was perfect. AOL was always the superior EMAIL provider. I have used it since 1998. GOLD is not an improvement.
