Annoying excretory viral content producer Goody Feed may have been righteously shut down in the clickbait crackdown by Facebook but their dastardly listicles seems to have returned in the form of new website Today Up Feed.
Sporting the same logo, vigorous regurgitation of meaningless content and the very same ‘social like gate’ plugin that got Goody Feed banished in the first place, the unwanted sequel already has nearly 23,000 likes on their Facebook page — even though their first ever post was made on Apr 27. They also seem to like tagging themselves in every Facebook post, which is pretty much the same as liking your own posts.
In a plot twist however, Goody Feed announced on their own Facebook page that Today Up Feed is a cloned site of theirs, and is in no way related to them.
“We would also like to advise all our readers to take extra caution when accessing ‘Today Up Feed’ as we cannot confirm the security of the website,” they said, before assuring they they’re still alive and will return again with more vapid banality.
Earlier this month, online content publishers took notice when Facebook decimated Goody Feed — founded by perplexingly popular author Low Kay Hwa — by banning all their content from the social network. At their peak, Goody Feed harnessed the the insidious sorcery of exponentially increasing their Facebook likes, which stands at over 309,000 now. A snap of their digital fingers, and all Goody Feed posts disappeared from Facebook due to the offence of having a ‘social like gate’ plugin — readers have to like their Facebook page before gaining full access to their trashy (but effectively viral) articles.
Facebook wasn’t having any of that shit and promptly removed all posts linking to Goody Feed, and blocked their ass too.
Today Up Feed however, sadly remains shareable on social media. It’ll just be a matter of time before they get shut down too, as they should be.
