In my opinion, the "news" / "blog" agencies have already innovated on this by just blending content with advertising with notoriously click-baity articles like "top 12 ways your cat wants you dead" where every single bullet point is a cleverly worded advertising for cat neutering, cat food, or whatever.

I suspect Facebook already does something similar via automating the hundreds of millions of dead accounts in their system. My suspicions were triggered because a decade ago when FB was still fresh, I created a page for my dog (now passed away), and very recently, it shared a "funny" video. So either my dog is using facebook from beyond the grave, or fb has automated his account.

Or perhaps this dog in question was using an easily brute-forceable password, and control now rests with one of the many huge botnets in operation.
