Is Gizmodo hosting this article in order to give a demonstration of “dark patterns” with their website? Auto playing video ad overlayed inline with the text, article content split and spread over the whole page. What utter garbage.
True, but you can easily predict when it’s intentionally misleading, there’s still chance of being wrong but people have been burnt too many times by this type of website (usually owned by media holding companies) that it’s safe to assume bad intentions.
