Taboola, Outbrain, et al are the bottom of the barrel as it relates to the space of monetized and amplified content recommendations.

Literal clickbait designed to pray on the poorly informed.

From an advertising perspective, their targeting "AI" is nonsense.

The fact that they are cashing out isn't upsetting. The fact that countless, I would assume tens of millions of users, have been duped to click on this drudge is most disheartening.

Honestly I'd be embarrassed if I were an engineer working for taboola/outbrain. It's a job yes, but I wouldn't advertise it to my friends at all.
