They don't do their awesome headlines much anymore. For example:

A soup kitchen disguised as a restaurant is making a big difference in Kansas City.

That's the whole story right now. You might see that in a mainstream media outlet!

These 10 photos of a refugee school show what the media won't: hope.

They should leave off the last word.

He shattered stereotypes and came out as gay in the Muslim community.

Yep, there's the whole story right there. Spoilers right in the title.

Not so much of the amazing "See what _______ has to say about ________. You won't believe what happens next." type stuff that got them where they are.

jumping the shark implies there was ever a time when it was good, occasionally there'd be something genuinely heartwarming but mostly they were annoying clickbait.
