"The Daily Dot surfaces stories that no one else is talking about."

The daily dot appeals to teenagers and young adults by using headlines that might draw their attention such as "Here is how to use Snap chat's video Loop tool", "Barack Obama said he underestimated how much fake news could impact 2016 election", "The 30 wildest Nerf guns ever created", and "Zendaya says she was a victim of racism at the grocery store".
The Daily Dot also attempt to appeal to their audience of teenagers by providing videos with almost every post. Each writer also ends almost all political, gossip, or popular topic with a link to go to a more in depth article over the topic at hand. This would appeal to more teenagers because they like to read the more shorten version of the topic but it also gives them the option to read more about it.
