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.
The real story is being overlooked: Washington Post is Hiring OnlyFans Influencers to Court Readers
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.
@ernest, here's a nsfw screenshot in case it doesn't appear for you. https://i.imgur.com/il0uZC4.png
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.
