Yea, itβs definitely weird on more than one level π
Pretty sure that thumbnail isn't from the article. I searched the article really hard for it.
Itβs shows up for me on mobile. It says itβs a screenshot from TikTok. Maybe it doesnβt show up on desktop for some reason?
I'm on Desktop from Kbin and it shows up: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/354342/Oil-companies-are-hiring-TikTok-influencers-to-court-young-people
Kbin is having thumbnail caching issues lately, and will assign thumbnails from other posts that were submitted around the same time. I feel like it's been happening for a week or two now.
@ernest, plz
This is disgusting. It tricked me to click a Washington post article!
Man, you got catfished by the Washington post haha.
So disgusting!
@ernest, here's a nsfw screenshot in case it doesn't appear for you. https://i.imgur.com/il0uZC4.png
Confirmed. Under the Linus Tech Tits post.
That's not good at all.
Yea, there's clearly something misconfigured over on kbin at the moment. Might be worth pinging one of the people that runs it.
