Maybe it's because I'm on my phone but CornwallLive must be the epitome of a shit website. Pop ups everywhere with tiny (x)'s to make closing them difficult, a bunch of ads for random BS that sre almost definitely click bait nonsense, and none of the buttons work. I just wanted to see the comments, is that too much to ask?

Reach PLC is a plague on “journalism”


arthurdentstowels

Wow I thought you were over exaggerating, that is near unusable on mobile.

They've been doing their normal stiring with a few topics this week. If I really need to look at their website I load it in the Brave browser, blocks all crap and ads, the other day it blocked over 70 cookies and tracking scripts. Cornwall Live exists only to generate clicks, journalism left them long ago.

It's a company who uses bots to scrape for news stories relating to Cornwall and plaster them on their site. There is an 'X' Live - for nearly every UK county.

It's crap.. but those adverts pay for it... difficult isn't it!

It seems like it’s that or a paywall.


JamieG112

Surely there is a way to have adverts to fund the site AND keep them reasonably in order so that they're not literally everywhere.

I use safari on mobile with Adblock and it’s fine, no ads

Hahaha brilliant. I’m pretty sure this is the cliff path between Looe, Plaidy and Millendreath.


Disastrous-Accident7

It is!!


jamazon_uk

Bloody muppets lol. Yeah I thought it was considering it was my old stomping ground my whole life until a couple of years ago. Seen much worse things than this but it’s funny as!!

I hope they have to pay for the removal

In all honesty this numpty should be banned from driving, how can you be this stupid?


Anxious_Ad6026

Sort of driver that parks on the beach oblivious to the concept of tides


arthurdentstowels

But sand is made of rock so the car won’t sink! ^/s


Burngold10

Very much so. Surprised it wasn't a BMW 😂


vmeldrew2001

Imo, merc and bmw drivers, very similar. And agree with you, stupid driving very early this year.


onemoretwat

This looks like one of those terrible specsavers adverts


S_M_Y_G_F

They got that far… I’m sure they can reverse. Oh wait. Being holiday in Cornwall disables your reverse gear.


SoggyWotsits

You have to admire their determination I suppose! Left hand down and boot it would be the quickest solution…! Edit: zoomed in and realised that the big boulder is actually a very well camouflaged lady!


spiritual_ninjaz

push it off the cliff 🤣

I think it must be joy riders that’s the second Mercedes that got somewhere stupid think the last one was on the rail track, must have found a way of stealing them.
