|    Paid Links Using Fake (AI?) Images    |
|    19 Feb 25 02:17:04    |
      From: ldo@nz.invalid              Just noticed a couple of cases of paid links using quite striking pictures       as clickbait, only to not have any items in the full article resembling       those pictures at all.              One of them was quite a bizarre-looking motorhome-type thingy, with a       truly remarkable plethora of excrescences, including a staircase and an       upper gallery. Of course the real motorhome in the actual article looked       far more conventional.              And no, I don’t think they earned any revenue from my clicks. All I saw in       the articles, between the content, was gaps with the word “Advertisement”       in them. ;)              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
