Yes every sponsored click bait article now that looks even remotely interesting is like this.
They use the old "look at the actors from this TV show now" , or the good old "you won't believe what happened to someone" with photochopped faces to make them look way worse with 38 pages of buildup before they get to the thing in the article if they even cover the thing or person at all.
Often they don't even show the people pictured in the end! 38 pages of nothing too.
I assume it's all about serving more ads. I never see the ads with my ad blockers on android but I never click on any of these types of articles now no matter how much I loved the show or subject.
I only needed to put my hand on the hot stove several times before finally learning my lesson...
