Sometimes we just want to shrug our shoulders. Instead of newspaper criticism, there is now a reader’s criticism, a criticism of some of our readers. And of course the top news of the week.

It has nothing to do with serious journalism, you jade bunnies
That was the top news of the week
Not only editors, but also manufacturers sometimes go wrong
Safe bank, right? The flat joke of the week
We notice it in your comments in the social networks, in letters to the editor. The tone becomes rougher, the handling rougher. In short: Christmas is just around the corner. Sometimes I just want to shrug my shoulders. I do now too. Instead of newspaper criticism, there is a reader’s criticism. With a shrug, Michael greets warmly on behalf of the other editorial gnomes. Cheek!
You can see the article form of our weekly newsletter “Hallo netzwelt”. If you have a say and don’t want to miss any more issues from now on, just subscribe. To do this, click on the button at the very end of this article.
“Since the download doesn’t work, you’re so out of it !!!!!” or “Just wanted to take part in the competition. Who are you selling my e-mail address to ?? Well? Answer!” or “Urgently. I need the PS5 for my son. I get the message ‘Not possible in your country’ with your stupid advent calendar – yes, I live in Timbuktu ???”.
Anyone who goes through the e-mail inbox in the run-up to Christmas as a netwinner must have a thick skin and an active virus scanner. The opinions quoted above are still the harmless ones. I’m leaving the others out out of concern that this newsletter will end up in your SPAM folder. We give away great prizes like PS5 and Xbox X and get to feel the pure hatred for it. Of course, it is a minority that, fueled by anger, suffocates. Negative criticism is written more quickly than praise or thanks. It has always been like this.
In the Netzwelt Advent Calendar you can win prizes with a total value of around 10,000 euros. We editors, on the other hand, win one or the other … great.
Of course, we have to question ourselves critically at some points. Are there any less data hungry competition tools than the one we used? That is one of many questions. Another is: Was one or the other headline too sensational? Couldn’t the article keep what the title promised? Was one or the other topic too brief or illuminated from the wrong side? Has opinion mixed with report?
You can talk to us. We are open to criticism. The most of us. Some of you are not. We can neither respond to every single question in each of our many channels, nor will we always respond confidently and calmly to wild insults. We’re only human beings made of flesh, lust, blood, chips and cables. Sometimes our antennas are kinked.
It has nothing to do with serious journalism, you jade bunnies
You little jade bunnies – two pieces of news that you have clicked particularly often this week illustrate the dilemma in which we sometimes find ourselves. Then the Chinese lunar exploration vehicle Yutu 2 (a translation is Jade Bunny, we won’t invent that) discovers a square object on the satellite side facing away from the earth. Kind of a hut! On the dark side of the moon!
There’s nothing to see here. Do not click on this news. Just rocks. (Source: Weibo)
A possible heading could be: Yutu 2 discovers rock formation on the moon. Serious, solid, gäääähn. Instead, we chose “Jade Bunny 2 on Earth: Mysterious Hut Discovered on the Moon” in the hope of arousing your curiosity. Well done. If now one or the other concluded: hut = house = residents = alien on the moon … well. Sorry Disappointment. Clickbait, of course. Pink Floyd turns in the grave. Are they still alive? Did we research badly.
The message: “WhatsApp: This happens if you only send an emoji with an asterisk or an underscore” was clicked very often this week. If you want to know what is happening, you have to click on the message. Spoiler: The size of the emoji changes. Many found it exciting, but many did not know it yet. But many would have preferred the heading: “WhatsApp: If you send an emoji with an asterisk, you change the emoji size”. Sorry, not sorry. The following comparison lags, but I haven’t come up with a better one. There are people who leaf through the magazines in the kiosk or supermarket without ever buying one. And there are casual buyers and even subscribers. I get the feeling that the first group is the loudest, although the others alone have the right to do so.
I didn’t want to write a leaf review here. Slipped in there and wondering how to get out of there. It’s actually more of a reader’s review. Ui, you shouldn’t do it. Thin ice. Mess with customers. A bakery saleswoman once snapped at me because I would not have had a not soooo burnt bun and would have preferred a much lighter one. I never went back.
There are no Teslas with sunroofs. Not even with engines like these. We know ourselves. Still, a YouTuber tried it out. (Source: Screenshot YouTube)
But it would never occur to us to see you as mere customers. Customers buy, can return. You can be a customer of a bank. Not at the dentist. You are a patient or simply defenseless. Sounds trite, but you are part of the network world. Understand yourselves so. And here you, who are reading this newsletter, are even more than that, namely the best newsletter readers in the world. It’s not for nothing that I often rub the honey around your mouth, because you have so far received constructive, factually presented feedback that has been remarkably often. Thank you. That often hurt too. And then it was more than necessary. Thank you.
The following is the list with the most read news of the week. I see a lot of good topics, a few less good ones and with some I also ask myself: What did he or she ride? Write a letter to the editor right now, I think there is a problem …
That was the top news of the week
Google Maps: This dog loves street view
To be immortalized with a photo in Google Maps Street View is an honor for many fans. A Bulgarian dog is apparently the biggest fan, he can be seen in the app three times.
To be honest, I don’t yet know whether I’ll really get this issue of Hallo netzwelt into your mailbox. Reads like a car accident where you can’t look away. But wouldn’t the purpose of such a newsletter then be fulfilled? I just lack the higher view to judge that. Must be Christmas soon. I don’t have any presents yet. Here’s some feedback.
Not only editors, but also manufacturers sometimes go wrong
Razer made a memorable letter to the editor this week. The gaming specialist is very popular with us and has really good stuff in store. But what did the manufacturer think of the Phone Cooler Chroma? A fan that sticks magnetically to the iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 and is supposed to protect the iPhone from overheating while gaming.
Looks cool – the use of the iPhone is likely to be limited to special cases. (Source: Razer)
Has your iPhone ever got so hot while gaming that you longed for a cooler? For us already one of the flops of the year. But here too: A serious headline definitely looks different than the one I chose in this case.
Safe bank, right? The flat joke of the week
At least with Flachwitz you can’t go wrong. Only you think so. With every newsletter I ask myself: “Is the joke too blatant, does anyone feel particularly trodden on the tie or skirt? Are minorities denounced? Nothing works anymore, especially not in joke form. Let’s try this:
Many did not know: The bell ringer of Notre-Dame only works from Monday to Thursday.
Quasi Mon-Thu.
There are even more flat jokes at this point on Netzwelt.
Dear newsletter readers, So that was our week. Feel free to send a letter to the editor to [email protected]. We guarantee we will read it. In any case, remains hasy like jade, greedy for new things, blessed with resilience, like Dings, Boris. Huh? No idea, is it coming to Christmas? Check the mailbox again. Ciao!
Do you like this particular newsletter? We look forward to a recommendation!
