Clickbait firms don’t want you to look up here

Readers of Tech-media-tainment know that I’m interested in learning the origins of photos used by clickbait purveyors.
Taboola recently ran a sponsored link from Yourmatch titled “Pick 5 images and we’ll tell you which dating site you should be on.” It featured an objectifying photo of a woman’s cleavage.
A reverse image search shows that the photo is a cropped image of athlete and fitness model Kristen Graham.
I hope that they compensated her for use of her image for advertising purposes.
