It seems like every article I try reading on the internet is some sort of Slide show. Why do websites do this? To increase page views?

Here's a perfect example

LINK

When you click through the stupid pictures on this page, it is not increasing page views.

I wanted to see what is coming out soon on Hulu and they make me click through 100 pictures to get the information I am wanting.

Page views and more time spent in their site more exposure to their ads

Yup. Most of the time I give up reading stuff for that very reason.

But I guess it's paying off for them overall or they would not be doing it. Pretty annoying.

Click bait and page views. The web is so different in a VM. I hardly recognize it.
