For me it’s not article but more like posts in social media with violent images. I know animal abusing happens and other animal concern topics but to post graphical violent images on Google+, Facebook and etc is too bit much.

I don’t like the videos where a dog could injure itself like “Dog Fails” or where the kids are messing with a dog. No riding, no ear/tail pulling, or pounding on the pup while Mom and Dad laugh and film the entire thing. Except where the dog has had enough and bites the child. Grrr! Pop-ups make me crazy too.

In reply to Lauren Miller. Yeah I love the Dog Snobs. They put together articles that might be offensive to some, but they're easy to understand (and have a good point) by the way they end up mixing their insight & humor. Rather than just eff this, eff that.

In reply to Meghan. I'm so in love with that blog, seriously. When I saw it I was beyond thrilled.

In reply to jana rade. That's such a huge problem on so many blogs today, it is ridiculous. And what makes it even worse is when the pop up opt out is something condescending like "No, I Hate Free Stuff."

I hate all of the things everyone else mentioned! Especially “cute dog and baby” stuff. Most of it is emphatically not cute, because I am a humorless dog trainer.

On a more positive note, there’s a newish blog that is making me feel so much better about all of the stupid dog videos I hate that people keep sharing: http://occamsrover.blogspot.com/

In reply to Lauren Miller. Oh, yeah, I HATE that blog! I am so glad you mentioned it, even though I appreciate that Jen didn't want to post fingers. Fortunately, I haven't seen any of those posts shared since it first started.

I do have a healthy distaste for affiliate links all over AND pop-ups. I REALLY HATE pop-ups. Sometime one can’t can make their way to the content. Otherwise, if I don’t like the article I just move on to another.

Precisely (I’m remembering the Wil Wheaton article/thread/kerfuffle on HuffPo).

The thing is, all that stuff is influential to non-corporate bloggers, and that’s why we end up with the endless “content” rehash. It’s influential. And it obviously works for the businesses (hey, pump out 75 articles per DAY and you will get eyeballs), but now it has ended up all over the place. And spilling over to what “influencers” write 99% of the time it feels (marketing – self (fluff quick to write piece for organic search purposes) or sponsor).
