You can’t do this to me. The first line of the title for me reads “JWST snaps”. My heart sunk for a second before I managed to read all of it.

I get that websites need to generate at least enough money to pay for themselves, but an average of 2 sentences per ad is crazy.

Yeah, another user said something similar about the use of the word: these are time exposures, not 'snapshots'. It's a poor choice of word for more than one reason.

How is that super spooky? Don't get me wrong: the images are amazing. But I was more in awe than spooked. I don't get the title ... unless it was yet another clickbait thing...

I had not been super impressed by images from Webb until these came out.

It’s so wild to try to imagine the sheer scale of these things. Lightyears across.

Gorgeous photos of an iconic nebula. At first I thought “these pictures aren’t right-side-up” and then I thought, “oh yeah, there’s no such thing as ‘up’”

How is that "spooky"? Tell us, validate your use of the word.

I think that's great. Buy Dominos pizza. In fact, I've decided to have my own comments sponsored. Buy Ford cars. So everything other sentence is now an advertisement. Buy Tide detergent. I hope it's not too distracting. Buy Samsung televisions. In any case, that's a cool picture!

It might have been mental conditioning from the title or the colors or both but I swear it looks like there's some kind of demon creature thing's face in roughly the lower middle of the left-most column. Try to unsee it once you see it.

My favorite part was the fact they're like "it's SPOOOOKYYY!!!" in the title. It's literally just like, a different angle from the original famous image of the pillars of creation, there's nothing spooky about it.

Got to get those clicks I guess though!

Looks pretty spooky to me. Like apparitions appearing out of a dark mist.

I also see a hand throwing up the horns 🤘

A lot of shapes/images pop out to me in this picture. It's a really amazing one.

That specific site's been uselessly bad for awhile. At this point they're basically mirroring/rephrasing other, better sites' articles, so there's nothing really lost by not going there.
