Yeah I get the main theory you're going with and it's been rampant without AI bullshit. When sites became traffic driven to an extreme they started trying to grab whatever was the most rage enduring, verified or not. I forget the exact example but there was a guy that back traced a rage bait article and it was like 10 articles deep, and at the bottom it was a misquoted tweet that was complete misinformation.
