I'm pretty confident it's always the writer who smells an opportunity for clicks, do they write the story first then look for a source.

If they luck out, they'll find it trending. But mostly it's the "one person on Twitter" scenario.

The worst part is when the content gets shared.

500 clicks in an hour, half a goddamned penny of ad revenue, then it's time to move on to the next droplet of junk content.
