It seems that finding quality entertainment or pop culture news sites these days is more difficult than it needs to be. In my opinion, a site's content is key in order to drive traffic and make sure people notice your site. Content that is well-written, thoughtful, unique, interesting, and highly sharable is the best way to achieve this. Hosting quality content can be a difficult task, but there is one big problem at the core of the ?content is king? maxim: People have extremely varying definitions of what it means to host quality content. This discrepancy leads to an endless slush pile of content that is, for lack of a better term, little more than sensationalized clickbait. To improve your chances of attracting readers and increasing click-through ad revenue, find a headline that stands out.

It seems to me that the writing style and approach used in these types of articles is reminiscent of writing from a time when newspapers were still a popular source of information. In my opinion, clickbait articles are often less interesting than they seem, as they tend to be full of sensational headlines and content that is not always well-written or relevant. Unfortunately, when it comes to written content, what you are more likely to find is barely legible, unimportant, or grammatically atrocious examples of what some like to call 'word soup,' where the authors just cram a bunch of promising keywords together with no attention paid whatsoever to whether people will truly want to read the content or if it is useful or stimulating in any way.

I won't lie - I have fallen prey to clickbait articles one too many times. I am all too familiar with that game. And it is always a little bit annoying - to find an article that seems to have so much potential online and then be rerouted to a site that has little of anything substantive to offer in terms of quality. We have all been there. These links are traps. They are time-wasters. Nothing more, nothing less. And that's why, when it comes to entertainment and pop culture news sites, I care a great deal about providing you, dear reader, with honest and (I hope) interesting reviews. Your time is valuable, I want to help make sure that you don't waste it on subpar film and TV news sites.

It is not always readily apparent, either, whether a particular site is going to waste your time at first glance. Sometimes you can spend nearly an hour perusing a site before you realize that, sadly, you have been suckered into a den of clickbait once again. This is unacceptable and that's why I try to provide high-quality content and also devote much of that content to help discern the sites worth your clicks and the ones that trap you with them (honk).

There are a few great sites that specialize in Hollywood-related news and movie reviews, but there are not many sites that focus specifically on Bollywood. This is a shame because Bollywood is one of the most famed hubs of popular entertainment.

Today, I am presenting you with a site that promises to provide a dependable and regularly updated feed of news pertaining to Indian movies, television, and pop culture. The site that we will be taking a look at is the Bestinforoom. So, let?s delve in, shall we, and see if this site is truly one of the Bestinforoom, or if it is merely another wormhole of clickbaity and insignificant, subpar content.

History

com) leads me to believe that it may have been created with the intention of profiting from its content. Unfortunately, I was not able to find a whole lot of historical information on Bestinforoom. All I was able to find were the most basic pieces of the puzzle. I have no clue, for instance, who is responsible for this would-be authority on Bollywood news or what their motivations were, etc. All I know is that Bestinforoom launched on July 22nd, 2013 and the fact that Cloud Flare Inc (which is also responsible for sites like Medium, Canva, Instructure, Media Fire, and Chaturbate.com) owns it leads me to believe that it may have been created with the intention of profiting from its content. Despite its lack of historical context, the present-day function and trajectory of Bestinforoom are more important than any information about its origins.

Design

Bestinforoom does not look terrible. However, it does not look great either. It is one of those websites that is somewhere in between, in terms of its design. It works well enough, sure, and it does not make you want to immediately switch gears when you land on it, but it also doesn't look so good that you'll be rushing to your phone to tell your friends about it or anything like that. On the whole, the site is just okay. Exceedingly mediocre would be the phrase that comes to mind. At the top of the page, as is typically the case, is a large thumbnail alongside the latest feature. Besides that, in four smaller squares are your trending stories. The standard layout of this page is scrollable down to reveal additional stories for your reading pleasure. There is also a site menu bar at the top of the page, which allows you to choose between Home, News, Articles, Reviews, Celebs, Videos and Privacy Policy. Disappointingly, though, there is nothing interactive or experiential about this site. It just is what it is.

Content

So, is Bestinforoom populated with vapid clickbait or does it contain thought-provoking op-eds, film reviews, and substantial, meaty content? Well, I suppose the answer to that question really hinges on what you find interesting. But if you want my honest critique - which is what I would do if I were asked - then I would say that it is a bit of both. You do have useful news articles on all the happenings in Bollywood, but these appear side by side with articles that are clearly meant to lure people in and purely generate clicks. That being said, the nature of the clickbait on Bestinforoom is comparatively enticing. I am usually not easily suckered into clicking on a sensationalized headline, I can usually tell the difference right away, but Bestinforoom did manage to get me with one of their more clickbaity headlines, which read "10 Ways to Find Inspiration for New Ideas?" So, although some of Bestinforoom's content can be described as clickbait, hey, at least the clickbait is good right?

Desktop and Mobile Experience

Bestinforoom has done a good job optimizing the site for smartphones and tablets, I might even prefer the mobile experience over the website. Scroll down and down and down one story at a time to create a more immersive experience in my opinion.

Suggestions that I have for Bestinforoom

I would like to see Bestinforoom step up its content quality. Additionally, I think the site could use more content in general. For example, clicking into "Reviews" reveals a total of three movie reviews. As a writer, I would recommend hiring more writers who are good at their job.
