No, your favorite TV show hasn’t been canceled. That’s just a trick that clickbait companies use to get your attention.
When lying clickbait purveyors promote a story about TV shows that have been canceled they often use a photo of a popular series that definitely has not been canceled.
Most recently, Taboola promoted an article titled “Netflix cancels another round of great shows” with a photo of Jenna Ortega from “Wednesday.” The series was renewed for a second season in January.
Clickbait articles last fall were falsely claiming that hit series “Yellowstone” had been canceled.
Clickbait purveyors also like to exaggerate the ages of celebrities.
A recent article titled “Oldest living star, almost 101” used a photo of actor Lee Majors with his late ex-wife Farrah Fawcett. Majors is 83.
Last year, clickbait articles said Angie Dickinson was “turning 100” when she was 90. Other clickbait articles have exaggerated the ages of Clint Eastwood and Jaclyn Smith.
Finally, a clickbait article titled “Valerie Bertinelli transformation gone wrong” used a photo of plastic surgery addict Jocelyn Wildenstein.
