Like, it’s the type of “just stay here” website everyone keeps trying to make.
On any random day they’d post like an article every 15 minutes. No matter when you needed to kill 15-30 there was something funny and usually informative.
There was probably 5 years straight I didn’t poop without reading an article on Cracked.
There’s no other quality stream of content like that since.
I just had a quick look at the Cracked homepage and it looks like they’ve got articles written by actual writers again, which is a nice change. It turns out that, while cheap, filling your website with bullshit listicles written by “Cracked readers” makes for bad content.
Those aren’t “articles” there’s like a paragraph, and then a shit ton of pictures with text.
Fucking got my hopes up and everything, I’m gonna remember this one for April Fool’s though. Right up until you scroll down the first time it’s super convincing that it’s back.
Cracked in it’s prime was fucking amazing.

Ooops… Sorry. I didn’t mean to mislead you.
All I did was scroll down and note that I didn’t see any articles written by “Cracked readers” - I didn’t actually look at the articles themselves.
