Fake News Started Off My Week

I was browsing YouTube within the last hour and was recommended a video that had been published in the last few hours.

As I hadn't watched any news this morning, the video surprised me. It was titled 'Rest In Peace Julie Andrews 1935-2024'.

I didn't even click on the video. I went onto the news websites to read about it.

There was no news about Julie Andrews' passing.

Because she hasn't died.

What is it with those accounts spreading stories for clicks knowing fully well they're lying to people? You're just doing long-term damage to your brand if you create content like that.
