Lying clickbait never sleeps

Clickbait purveyors will do just about anything to get you to click on a sponsored article. That includes lying.
Often, they will use a photo of a sexy woman that is unrelated to the article being promoted.
For instance, a recent sponsored article titled “These Woodstock photos went a bit too far,” used a photo that’s obviously not from the famous 1969 concert in Bethel, N.Y.
Judging from the red mud in the original photo, the woman looks like she’s at the Redneck Games in East Dublin, Georgia. (See Sports Illustrated photos from 2011 Redneck Games.)

Some website called GotGravy has been running sponsored articles with the title “The most iconic photo ever published in Life magazine.” The photos are interesting but far from “the most iconic photo ever.”
One shows Swedish high jumper Gunhild Larking from the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. (See Sports Illustrated pictorial about Gunhild Larking from the games.)

Another shows the cast of the 1969 British film “Three,” starring Charlotte Rampling, Robie Porter and Sam Waterston.

Lying clickbait firms also like to spread lies about celebrities.
One article implied that actor Robby Benson is now a woman. It had the headline “Remember Robby Benson: This is her now.”

Another made actress Courteney Cox look way older than she is. It used a photo that had been altered with a photo app called FaceApp. It carried the headline “Courteney Cox, 57, takes off makeup, leaves us with no words.”

Finally, lying clickbait purveyors love to alarm TV fans with articles that imply that their favorite shows have been canceled.
Here are two examples for hit series “Yellowstone.”
