Yeah the content of the post is totally bogus, but it's still a real post. The post exists, you can read it.

A fake blog post would be something that purports to be a blog post but actually isn't. This is definitely a real post.

What would be a possible example of this?

I don't know, I'm not the one pointing at things and saying they're fake blog posts!

But examples might include something that looks at a glance like a blog post, but actually it's all just squiggles instead of words.

Or a link on the home page that looks like there's a blog post, but when you click it it's just a YouTube video.
