Clickbait at its worst
January 17, 2023

SR only publishes mediocre articles based on old news and/or simply reprints other sources in a repetitive fashion. It has virtually no original content, no fact checking or proofreading. Why, exactly, Google considers it a reliable "news" source is a mystery.

Every ScreenRant "article", if you can call them that, I have every read is either wrong or at least badly thought-out, esp. When it comes to Marvel/DC. "Marvel reveals real reason behind..." - Marvel didn't "reveal" anything, they published a story, sometimes decades ago, and ScreenRant drums up some story about it as if it breaking news. Just poor content, which is why I now avoid. Maybe if we ignore them, the site will die off. Here's hoping.

Who the hell writes 4-5 articles in a day? No one, even if the writing is horrible and the article is less than 1000 words. What in the hell is this nonsense? Really? All of a sudden, everyone (average doodles) and their bro friend can write like a madman? Taking credit for other people's work and pathetic opinion pieces on stupid subjects, even if they sometimes give you the ability to do this sort of thing for money? Do they do anything else other than write crappy blogs? No, yes, and no! Maybe if you took your time, you would actually write a decent article on a decent subject that displays decent writing. What does this mean then? Well, it probably means that the so-called writers on this website are fake or are faking their writing in some way, etcetera. "How is this?" you ask. Well, it probably means that they are ripping off other people's articles and are expecting or not caring if they're getting away with it; I have seen this before (looking at you, Listverse). It probably also means that they are "hiring" other writers and using their material for their publishment on a third-party website. Is this a given and acceptable? Sure, but to say that you have 2000 articles under your belt after only 2 years of writing is utterly ridiculous. No sale on that one, my friends! I also find that doing this without giving credit to the person who actually wrote the crappy article is dishonest, as it would only be fair to them and everyone else. I mean, really? Why would you take credit for half of the garbage "article" blogs on this website? Anyway, I do not buy it, and this is coming from someone who writes a lot and still cannot churn out the monstrous load that these jerkoffs release. Good luck on trying to convince me of this garbage -- the numerous other issues I find with this are unnecessary to mention here. Regardless, this is a waste of my time, as the internet needs to be cleaned up. Trash like this is unacceptable, and no amount of payment makes it believable. In the end, I suppose that getting paid makes you abuse the system even more than usual, right? Don't worry though, as just about every other website is to blame for this absolute garbage. However, this is certainly one of the worst and most unbelievable ones that I've seen, and I will never believe it until I actually see the real world results from real people with actual talent. To end this nicely, be sure to have a lovely day, and don't believe anything that you read from most of these websites, period. Then again, they're just spreading their asinine opinions to the public eye, but in spite of this regression, I digress.

Not written by humans
September 24, 2022

I just read most of this article and have to assume it was AI generated. This is a new low. Is this what we have to look forward to on the internet now?

The most horrible display of biased article writing I've ever seen. Circular reasoning, poor arguments, all to push and validate the unjustified opinions of few people with bad taste. Tasteless.

You know what you do! Stealing almost word for word content from various YouTubers and repackaging them as your own. Shame on you all.

Terrible articles
May 13, 2022

They mistook jokes as actual bullying when it's not. Friends joke around with each other and tease one another. If you don't do that with your friends, you guys probably are just acquaintances at best.

Actually this is one of the most inconsistent and illogical movie sites ever been. They have entire articles based on fan art & make it seem like it's legit movie news or "what if articles". Numerous headlines that have nothing to do with the subject at hand and articles that constantly contradict previous ones for REAL. Most writers have no idea what they are talking about. The epitome of fake fans, all just for clicks. When I want to read late-breaking movie news, Comics, I'll visit the likelihood sites like Variety or Hollywood Reporter. However, when I want something funny, I go to ScreenRant. A lot of people hate lists and fun articles, and that is fine, but I would prefer fun stuff to endless regurgitation of the same stories over and over again. For people who hate fun, there is always Deadline (what I love too). For people who love to read fun stuff about movies and TV, ScreenRant is well worth for the follow...

Worse Than IGN
May 8, 2022

Let's start with the goods: Screenrant pays their writers. IGN is already losing here. Until you realize this is the only good this company does. Other than that, most of the articles are distasteful lies, they spoil shows and movies in their own titles which isn't good when it shows up in people's notifications, and and some articles just have horrible opinions/facts everyone already knows they use for clicks. Like, just today, and the inspiration for making this review, I found an article talking about how no one knows Goku's real name. They even put in parenthesis (& It's not Karkarot). You click on the article expecting to read something you've never known, like maybe Goku was mixed up with a kid named Kakarot on accident or something, but no. It's just the $#*! about Goku being based on and named after Sun Wukong which is something EVERY fan knows. And I can guarantee you they didn't even figure this out themselves. It probably only took them 20 seconds of research for an article that a lot of Dragon Ball fans will probably fall for and the person who wrote it will probably make some bank, which is actually the $#*!ing worst. I hate it so $#*!ing much.

Pathetic.

Every article they write is just pathetic. It shouldn't even be considered news. Hope this site goes down soon enough. Full of useless idiot "writers". No one needs talentless frauds.

A click-bait website where multi-page articles are quickly and poorly written around one or two mundane facts. A recent article about My Hero Academia took many paragraphs to simply say that the author received criticism about how he drew a character, but he stuck with it. That would be one of many facts in a proper article about the author at a quality website. At screen rant it is the article.

They make up lies to fit their perspective, or blatantly ignore facts that would prove their statement wrong, which is pretty much the same as lying. They're pathetically ignorant, yet they act like they have actual Intelligence on the matter

Opinionated filth, which attempts to be humourously clever as it's fails dismally in disparaging various TV and Film icons. Funny it ain't! And rationale is near non existent!

All this site is is a gossip rag along with the likes of The Sun and The Enquirer. Trying to stir up trouble where there is nine. Don't believe a word of what you read.

Screen Rant, along with all its sister sites (Gamerant, CBR etc) are the worst entertainment sites ever. Stolen content, click bait titles, poorly (If any) researched articles. The people who contribute to this site need to get their heads out of their rear ends and stop smelling their own farts cause non of them are worthy to be called "Writers"

Blatant rip off

Literally steals its content from smaller YouTube channels. Distasteful and downright wrong. But hey, they have a ton of funding so I guess it's the American way.

Others have commented on the website, so I don't think that needs more attention. However, I applied to work there as a guide writer, and the hiring practices are just as bad as the content.

First, the pay is almost non-existent: $21 for a feature article, which should be a day's work for someone putting in the effort. Second, the application is long (it took me six hours), and it's apparent that they are farming ideas for their website - there was a section for pitching stories on an application to be a guide writer. It made no sense until they gave me a quick rejection, informing me that they didn't have time to offer feedback. There had been mention of training if the application was accepted, but after looking at the site more closely, I can't imagine what that training would look like. They want people who will churn out clickbait for almost no money, not writers.

Screenrant is rotten to the core. Steer clear.

Always wrong
October 18, 2021

How can one site be so consistengly bad and keep missing the mood of movie fans. Their constant need to stir up hate and be offended by everything has turned them from a light hearted entertainment site to a depressing joke.
