I used to see it that way (despite the proliferation of bad grammar / proofreading), but lately (the last year?) they've devolved into purely clickbait headlines and misleading / factually incorrect articles. I don't think it's done ironically, I think it's done to get attention. They accept content from just about anyone, so if someone sends them a piece they thing is interesting they'll post it. Maybe this is to compete with TTAC (Baruth).
