I see it all the time when I'm searching for answers on the web. Ngl I look up a lot of stuff for C# and C++ and if you use Google (and even DDG) you'll always fine a couple of these. Google likes to put them up first. You can tell by the language in the article and the stripped down content on the page. I always end up backing out and I have ad-blockers but they still get the click.
