Fact-checking clickbait mongers on Woodstock and more

Tech-media-tainment has been fact-checking clickbait purveyors since May 2016. It’s a never-ending job.
What follows are some of the latest examples I’ve seen of lying clickbait.
Among the biggest categories of lying clickbait are articles that promise shocking photos of the Woodstock music festival in August 1969. But these clickbait articles rarely use photos of Woodstock to promote them.
Taboola promoted an article titled “32 photos of just how crazy it got at Woodstock” with different non-Woodstock photos. One used a photo from The Stones in the Park music festival featuring the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park, London, in July 1969. (See article by Mashable.) Another used a photo of 1970s Funny Car drag racing icon Pamela Hardy, aka Jungle Pam. (See articles by BreakinBall and Journey Ranger.)

Clickbait firms also like to tout collections of photos supposedly taken before tragedies. Usually these photos are pranks, optical illusions or situations that aren’t what they seem.
For instance, a recent Revcontent article was titled “Don’t blink, what happens next is horrifying.” It used a picture of a woman who appeared to be hanging from a cliff at the Grand Canyon. The woman, Samantha Busch, made the photo as a prank. She’s fine, nothing horrifying happened. (See articles by ABC News and the Daily Mail.)

Other clickbait articles obviously get their facts wrong, probably on purpose.
For instance, a Taboola article said, “Clint Eastwood is nearing 100.” He’s 90.
Another article titled “Remember Chuck Norris? Let’s have a look at him now” used a picture of game-show host Bob Barker.
A Smartfeed article titled “Netflix cancels another round of great shows” used a photo from the series “The Witcher,” which has not been canceled.
