• Paid Links Using Fake (AI?) Images

    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. ;)
