Content Farm and How to Remove Them

🌟Response: For those who are interested in adults cartoons but don't have access to watch them, I suggest that you can register a Netflix account and watch series or cartoons on it, and Rick and Morty and Bojack Horseman are both available on Netflix. If you think the process is tricky, one Netflix account allows 3 devices to share it, so you can also ask your friends to share with you. This is not a commercial, though.

Have you ever collected material on Google but only found lots of useless information from content farm? Do you think the trashy articles with clickbait title on Facebook really get on your nerves?
If so, the Chrome extension and Personal Blocklist will help you a lot here.

Common titles of content farm articles

❓What is content farm?
Content farm is a company that employs large numbers of writers to generate a large amount of online articles. To profit from the advertising revenue, the main goal of content farm is to attract readers and make the page views as many as possible. As a result, these freelance writers might use clickbait title such as " 10 things you might not know about Donald Trump" to draw readers' attention, but most of the articles are worthless and with low-quality content. Some writers don't even have the permission from the original authors to quote their works. Though content farm is really a highly profitable industry, it also causes criticisms for producing "just good enough" articles.



However, with Chrome extension and Personal Blocklist, content farm will never be a problem. Take the first Google extension for example, after installing this application, besides blocking the content farms which are set by the system, users can also create their own blocklists. It's will be very helpful when you search information on Google.
(Recommended blocklist: http://ppt.cc/MAvlK)

Open the setting page of chrome, click the extension, and manage your list.

For the content farm appearing on Facebook, though there are no applications like that, Facebook has fought with content farm since 2014, and they will change the algorithm to kill content farm as much as possible soon. Maybe in the near future, content farm will disappear, and we will have cleaner website pages and high-quality articles😇

Some Cartoons for Adults

Cartoons are stereotypically regarded as naive and childish, but in fact, cartoons can be mature and philosophical as well. Take Rick and Morty and Bojack Horseman as examples, beside the elements like violence and sex involved, the notions which the author want to convey are hard to understand even for adults, and this is why I want to introduce these two cartoons. Maybe you will be more interested on cartoons after reading my introduction😏😏

🎈Rick and Morty

Rick and Morty is the top 10 series on the imdb ranking. What does that mean? It means that Rick and Morty can be compared with works like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and The Wire. If you are a sci-fiction fan, you can't miss Rick and Morty because the story includes lots of sci-fi elements.

The most famous quote in Rick and Morty.

The story is about the adventure of a crazy scientist, Rick, and his silly grandson, Morty. In addition to the thrilling plot and the vivid character, the main trait of Rick and Morty is the philosophical idea. Eugene Thacker's and H.P. Lovecraft's philosophical idea are usually used in the plot, and I think the main concept is that every person is small and doesn't matter. All in all, when you watch Rick and Morty, you will think of your purpose of your life, but it ends up that you live with no purpose.

🎈Bojack Horseman

Bojack Horseman has a interesting background (a world where animals are all personified), humorous lines, and the most depressing story. Different from most cartoons which have the positive attitude to life and dynamic character, Bojack Horseman shows how pessimistic the author is. With the story around the protagonist, Bojack Horseman, who is a passe movie star, his ego, his selfishness will disgust you. But at the same time, you will pity Bojack because of his low self-esteem.

In this cartoon, you will see humanity is complicated, and maybe you will also see parts of you from the characters in it. Though Bojack Horseman is a really sad story, but it makes you reflect on your attitude to life.

Actually, I can talk about these two cartoons for 3 days since there are too many issues can be discussed. Maybe you can watch it and talk about it with me next time😎😎

Concerts I've Been to

 
The main difference between the live performance and the recorded one is that you would see the other side of the singer. Some singers act more charming for their stage glamour; some singers who interact with the audience frequently show how friendly they are. Though there are still a few singers have a terrible live performance (they probably revise their voice through the computer), most of singers would impress you again when it's a live show. Now I'm going to show you my top 3 concerts I've been to.

Madonna: Rebel Heart Tour

This is the most expensive concert I've seen, but the whole show totally deserve the price because Madonna's performance is so stunning that you don't want to miss any single part of it. The dance , the background and the props are all designed based on the music video as if you were watch the original MV. The most impressive part of it is that all the dancers are all stellar, and I can't even take my eyes off them.

Deserts Chang (張懸-潮水箴言) 

Deserts Chang is one of my favorite singer, and this is her farewell concert. I love her voice, her songs, her attitude to life, and how much she care about some social issue. Deserts Chang's concert didn't let me down as well. In this concert, there is a huge screen on the stage, and some video or some animated effects would be projected onto it. These dazzling effects, along with the lyrics of the songs, add a fantastic atmosphere in the venue, as if you were tipsy and sleepwalking. The unique style of Deserts Chang's concert fascinates me a lot, though she probably won't sing again, I still expect her next concert.

Waa Wei: Run! Frantic Flowers! (魏如萱-末路狂花)

Waa Wei is a really cute singer and because of this concert, I know how chatty she is. She talks much and has a great interaction with the audience just like you are listen one of your friends' concert. But being such a talkative singer doesn't mean that she neglects her singing skill; instead, Waa Wei's live performance is even better than the CD. The art of her singing amaze me, especially her beautiful high pitch. Besides, not only the Mandarin songs, she also sings Taiwanese songs, and I appreciate her spirit to try everything. 

Personally, I think to see a concert can know a singer deeper and maybe fall for the singer again. If the price is acceptable and you have enough budget, choose a concert and enjoy it!
