If you think your cut and paste “blogs” are great then carry on, it’s all about the money ? Why can’t you just not read them? Why the need for a spiteful, petulant, offensive article? And before you suggest it, I don’t write for HITC, nor do I read the articles all that often because I’m not too interestedly in a lot of people’s opinions. Hence why I choose not to read it, which is the normal thing to do with something you’re not so interested in... jesus has the mrs walked out on you tonight or somat?!

Now I just ignore any HITC link I see. Just don’t click on them, you’ll be happier. Ditto, I soon started to wonder if it stood for High Intention Talking Crap. Clickbait 2+2=5 for anyone who wants to read the writers whim of a story; makes Nixon look an overflowing font of knowledge by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I want to start writing for HITC! Sounds like fun to me - I could dictate stuff while i do my real work. Seriously - I'd have no problem with people thinking it was crap. Where do I sign up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that, it lured me in with click bait, when I got there I realised it was utter tripe, however it’s easy to block, just don’t mention it or people from Ilkeston get mardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Depending on what you like reading and what interests you, I don’t really understand the hate for its reports either. Unless you’re willing to scour all of the online editorials - the sun, mirror, daily mail, telegraph, guardian, independent, star, scotsman, daily record plus all the foreign content - then you’d be better off just going on to the News Now feed for your club and reading the ‘top stories’ reports via sites such as HITC. Even if it turns out to be rubbish, it saves you plenty of time and keeps you up-to-date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the rumours and hearsay, and just wait for done deals. But there are many out there who love a bit of gossip and the transfer window generates more interest than any other aspect of football. Amazingly, over the summer months when football isn’t even on, in terms of article views it’s at its highest. The worst two months of the calender year are Sept and Feb, immediately after the windows have closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 HITC get a bad reputation because they are so visible, at the same time they have to be as number of articles equals number of views which equals number of revenue. It does make good money, too. I obviously don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if that company is turning over close to £500k a year at the moment. It's not bad when you think the overheads are relatively small in comparison to most businesses and they negate paying high fees to content writers by offering experience to students & offering a platform to those who have a passion for football who can string a sentence together. A number of people that used to write on there when I first started have now moved on to quite reputable news outlets, for example. As Bris mentioned, it's not the best job in the world. The writers need to make their time worthwhile hence why you do get 'clickbait', but there's nothing more demoralising to someone who wants to produce good work but also has to be on the look out for the next story before any of the other 10-15 active writers find it and get enough content done to be make it worth the 4-5 hours you've spent searching/writing.
