I think it is the same generic transfer report that the whole stable of regional papers/websites plus The Mirror (Trinity Mirror Group?) put out. Real regional journalism is on life support. This is just cheap filler - probably written in London.

They have no interest in anything, just clicks. It's not an anti welsh thing, it's a there's no money in local journalism thing.

Do they still do the "21 things you only know if you went to Llangrannog in the 90s/00s!" articles?

Their most popular story today is about someone with size 36k breasts. (No it's not about Lee Tomlin new fitness regime).
For anyone interested (that's a yes I assume) here's a link
My 36K breasts are ruining my life

Re: Why has Wales Online.....................................
It's a shame they have deteriorated to clickbait headlines and farcical stories based on what they find on social media.
There is still enough local interest news for them to thrive but they have chosen (as have all Trinity websites) to post bullshit over and over.
What annoys me the most, and the BBC are now as bad, is the multiple postings on their own social media platforms of the exact same news.
Some articles are tweeted up to 10 - 15 times, often worded slightly differently but leading to the same story.
