What a ridiculous website. Never thought I’d see a front page with more clickbait than BuzzFeed. Out of all the stories of perseverance you could find, why did you link 4 articles from this website? Are you trying to help them with SEO?

None of the articles are sourced and it even looks like they’re taking videos from other news publications like ABC and playing their own 15 second ads over them.

I for one didn't click on any of the links, why would I.. and even if all of the 3 stories were fake, it wouldn't change the point -- which, as I see it, is about such things being considered "feel good" stories, as if we already accepted the background of suffering that makes them stand out. I know I see that stuff in the wild all the time. But I don't bookmark that stuff, and if I searched for, it I would probably end up on a "farm" for it, too.
