Thank god. Was driving me mad.
It's a deliberate click/ragebait, not a mistake. It makes People click and talk about it, just like it happens here.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
There needs to be a new law, applicable to posts on the Internet of any kind.
Because that law doesn't hold, when malice has a massive profit motive, and almost zero downside.
Spammers, popups, spam, clickbait, all of it and more, not stupid, but planned.
