Not to mention Daniel RPK just started a Patreon to find his vague twitter scooping.

@FilmClickbait saved you a click. Now a bunch of comic book movie twitter rumormongers are angry and creating conspiracy theories.

Welcome to the internet.
If the content of your article can be summed up in a tweet then maybe you're not on decent ground for this argument.
I have no sympathy for all these blogs that do nothing but post slightly reworded versions of press releases.

God, that is so gross. The exploitative nature of clickbait is absolutely insane.
That's an idiotic place to be coming from, this is nothing like that at all.
If this dude worked for Variety, or whatever, so what?
And lol @ all the dweebs in Daniel's mentions acting like this is something that matters at all or Daniel is some arbiter.
Nobody cares about legit comic book journalism. For some reason the types of articles you want these type of sites to write about don't pull-in clicks. Black Nerd Problems and Comicosity are the only comic sites that aren't clickbait, and that's cuz they maintain a small staff of writers.

I don't see why people are so concerned about who's doing this. They're throwing him alley oops on a 6 foot rim.
Lol jesus. I think it's funny these people think anyone cares about who this person is besides the people and sites writing clickbait.
Da gawd. Did he ever make it to era
FilmStage had some pretty decent opinions
Is there one of these for youtube videos at all?
I think I've seen enough video content that takes a single off hand comment in an interview and stretches it into a ten minute discussion piece with the headline "thing definitely happening".

Poor person the one that has to check hundreds of 10:01 videos just to see if he sees anything interesting.
At least, FilmClickbait can just scroll fast through the articles and see if they say anything.
The account is fucking funny, and people making conspiracy theories that it is trying to take them down just make it even funnier.
Well Romero's, Nicholson's and Ledger's Jokers weren't heartbreaking. Nor did they try to be. I guess the Telltale adaptation comes the closest to that kind of approach.

FilmClickbait is a global treasure, especially considering all the other awful shit on Twitter. I'm not surprised that these fly-by-night, rumor regurgitating "news" sites hate it.
Hey those are the sites with the most clickbait titles. Of course they're going to be high on the list. Ending lesson here? Don't make clickbait titles. It's as simple as that. Interesting but not surprising those from those sites would get mad at this and refuse to address their own writing.

Just trying to think it through... What exactly does Daniel Ritchman think is unethical?
His original article is completely unsourced -- he doesn't even attempt to give any context as to where the date came from. Not even a "source familiar with the matters in Marvel Studios" or something. I'm not sure if 'SupeBroMovies' is supposed to be reputable -- but, like, it's a Wordpress.com site.
Is he just angry that the Twitter account interfered in his attempt to reap in those sweet, sweet clickbait ad dollars?

I follow quite a few Disney pages mainly related to theme park news etc
Saw an article promoted by one recently 'Everything we know so far about Frozen 2'
The actual content of the article amounted to pretty much 'we actually know nothing about Frozen 2'

There is a large cottage industry out there pumping out articles of the nature of "Here's what we know about [UNRELEASED PRODUCT]!" the second said product is announced -- or even rumored.
I just don't understand how that area is so (seemingly) oversaturated. Maybe that's why they're so guilty of clickbait (and overrepresented as a target).
I know who currently runs the account and honestly it is neeeded. It is not just comic book sites being called out. If you run clickbait as of this year your site if big enough willl make The list.
CBR, comicbook and screenrant are garbage. I stopped checking my google chrome feed for news because I kept getting clickbait trash from those sites.
I think not.
At some point all he did on gaf anyway was post his monthly movie threads where he stealthy promoted his website. He did it for years and nobody noticed lol.
The only problem with that is how dumb it is. Nobody at Fox News needs to hide their identity to say shit about their competitors, and even if they did it anyway, it wouldn't take much to see which of the big three is getting the least criticism.
I'm not sure what's worse: Richtman's tweets, or how you apparently thought retweeting them would make you look like a reasonable person.
