Reply to comment by Open_Veins_8 in Bucks County Doubles Down on LGBTQ+ Youth Support with Announcement of Second Rainbow Room by Open_Veins_8

You can't even defend it. It's a shitty WYSIWYG-built propaganda site disguised as an existing local paper.

Hey, everyone! This person knows what WYSIWYG means! Isn’t that sooooooo impressive?! They must really know what they’re talking about because they keep saying the same thing over and over super confidently!

It's common knowledge what a WYSIWYG is, not some tech secret. They're not something used by serious legitimate organizations, they're utilized by kids playing around, mom and pop businesses, hobbiests, etc.

Legitimate decent sized organizations aren't needing WYSIWYG plug-ins for wordpress. Let alone organizations supposedly made up of journalists, who are typically capable of running a wordpress without the training-wheels of a WYSIWYG. This goes even more so for organizations who solely exist as a website. There's no buckscountybeacon office, no buckscountybeacon printed copy. It exists entirely as a scam site pretending to be a normal local paper.

Yet OP can't even build a functioning site. This is some incompetent guy's blog that he's trying to fake as being a local newspaper so as to deceive users.

Seriously though, where did Wizzy Wig touch you? I’m worried about you.

I'm here to point out you guys aren't some well established local newspaper as you're trying to deceive users into thinking you are.

Bro I’m a software dev and this isn’t the slam dunk you think it is. Lots of perfectly reputable sites are run using Wordpress or Gradle or some other template-based system

It is. Nobody's talking about wordpress. Wordpress is a fine CMS, especially for a magazine or blog.

They're usingelementor plug-in for wordpress, which is to turn wordpress into a WYSIWYG editor. Not something legitimate organizations do, much less journalists who are typically familiar with wordpress enough they don't need to turn it into wix.

If you're a software dev, you should be seeing a lot more glaring issues than that. I've gone into a lot more issues than that in their last thread.

Images that don't load, generated URLs for primary pages (hence how I discovered it's built with a WYSIWYG), homepage is a cluster-fuck of carousel plug-ins stacked on top of each other, doesn't make it anywhere near the top pages on google for "local news bucks county pa", a logo design that looks like it's from 2002 paired with a super generic newspaper name suggesting their aiming at deceiving users into believing this is some existing established local newspaper, despite it being an activist site built this very election cycle.

These are glaring issues..
