I DISLIKE CHEK NEWS

SO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH CHEK NEWS

1) THEY DONT MODERATE THEIR ADS (I have been scammed about 53 times now)
2) THE STORIES WASTE MY TIME
3) FATHER ALWAYS WATCHES IT AND TAKES THE TV FROM ME
4) THEY GIVE ADS THAT SCAM YOU (I took a iq test they suggested, when in reality it wasted my time about 20 mins and WASTED 2 DOLLARS)
5) I HATTEEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS APPP AND THE PEOPLE WHO APART OF CHEK NEWS (ed Bain is the only good person on Chek news)
