Clickbait on MD

Anybody noticed Martin Lewis (Sad Day for Martin Lewis) appearing on W/O and LDP MD

Click on it and it mentions some endorsement (revolutionary Home Based opportunity)

My question why are these appearing on reputable websites? (lowers the tone)

Have mentioned it on the Fake Ads thread.

    Not sure they would be be high on my list of reputable sites - DMRI are involved with them and they are data harvesters who apart from having run two sites actually banned by MSE also had several on the "spam" list
    The Mag Dailies, Instant Wins by matching number combinations and some others are connected to DMRI a company behind several sites on the spam list and a data harvester who (prior to GDPR) among other things used the info to locate for credit (bad debt) purposes etc. - The actual prizes were still legit.
