Interesting article in CNN Money today about wealth built around fake new.  Seems we are all just marks for click bait.  http://money.cnn.com/interactive/media/the-macedonia-story/

Yahoo is very good at click bait. About 3/4 of the time the article is an advertisement in disguise. And not a good disguise!

Those pop up on my screen all the time.  Caption that reads ads by Taboola or some other source.  Never look at them.  I am sure other disguise a bit better.
