I have never in my life seen so many articles that are just the same few sentences repeated dozens of times but paraphrased slightly different each time. You get the first paragraph where they basically talk about the subject but they are very vague and they beat around the bush to kill time. Then the next paragraph says exactly the same thing but with slightly different phrasing. Then the next paragraph does precisely the same thing only in a much worse way. Then the fourth paragraph is usually almost identical to the first or second paragraph, on and on it goes. This website really needs to hire some legit writers if they care at all about the terrible quality of their current writers' entries and they want to be known for more than just a place to go if you want to be driven up a wall with a horribly written article.

Overall entertainment sites in general have ads running on their site, but Screenrant makes the experience impossible for the user. The pop-up video ads are more noticeable on mobile. The other experience to share is that they do tend to not source where they get an exclusive. Sometimes they do which seems to be other sites owned by the same media company, but otherwise no credit is given to the original source. That is a sneaky practice and contributes to mis-information.

Every article seems to lead with some sort of made up problem for whatever fandom they are attacking. They then go on and on about something based off no fact just opinion and then try and cheery pick some other stuff to try and back their opinion. I use to think they were a solid place to get movie news but its just junk.

Enough is enough, already. So many popups, that refuse to close when you hit the microscopic 'x' dead-center. They've introduced a new, more annoying form of ad that surrounds your screen in a black border, thicker on the top and bottom, which displays banner ads. You can't even read the article because it's cut off by the border.

It's an ad site. That's it, that's all. Clickbait for cash.

Avoid! Terrible
October 5, 2023

Badly written junk, ripped off from other websites and Youtubers usually. Add to that a needless social agenda stuffed into articles as filler and generally bad takes in opinions which go against the status quo to be edgy, and it makes for a pretty terrible reading experience. The Ads are pretty awful as well

I'm done with screenrant. I'm tired of all the pop up ads. When an ad comes up I press the x multiple times and it doesn't go away. That's just dirty! Nobody wants the stupid ads anyway and screenrant keeps forcing them on users now pressing the x doesn't make ad go away and they are in your face the whole time I'm on the site. I'm done!

This site is a Google SEO hack. You have tonnes and tonnes of articles about a movie claiming to explain every aspect of it repeatedly it. In reality all you have is a blog by hired freelancers who stuff keywords throughout the article. Not your site if your a real movie lover.

This should not exist

Total garbage, no standards, accepts all kind of crap trash woke articles, while being woke does not need to mean you cannot write good articles, this is the case here. Articles such as 10. Characters that could easily beat Superman:

1. "Catwoman, because she's a woman and has to give birth, besides her beauty can distract superman and then he can scratch his face with her adamtium claws MEOOOW!"

2. Robin, because he is gay (probably) and being gay means you have to fight for your rights, Superman isn't gay, he does not know how to fight for your homosexuality, of course he loses to Robin's sexuality!

WHAT? I could pull better things out of my $#*!!

As has been stated by others before me, the articles are incredibly repetitive and just not written in a way that makes them at all entertaining to read which is kind of a fatal flaw for a fun news and think pieces site about pop culture.
This lack of quality combined with the fact they're rarely actually saying anything or stating concrete facts AND the fact there's so, so many articles and some writers have allegedly written thousands of them in a couple of years makes me suspect they only write a sentence or two and let some ai generate the rest. It could also be the plagiarism others have pointed to. Maybe it's both, ai is known to plagiarise after all. Tho I wouldn't put it past them to also do it on purpose.
And if they aren't using ai I'm guessing they're forcing these writers to write x amount of articles each day to get paid so they're forced to churn out soulless mush. Which, for the record, isn't better.

Screenrant.com has some good, but I find myself very frustrated with it overall. Without any warning, some articles have spoiled the fate of certain characters, which is very unprofessional and is certainly annoying.

On another more personal note, I was just looking at a list for the best Power Rangers! On multiple lists, my favorite Ranger and childhood hero(along with Jason), Rocky, is constantly belittled by whoever's making them.

For those who don't know, Rocky was the very first Hispanic Power Ranger & the second Red Ranger. He was charismatic, funny, humble, a great friend and a very talented martial artist. Obviously an excellent role model for children, he definitely deserves more respect than what they have given him.

I would've preferred to give my complaints on their website, but with no comments section, this'll have to do.
