It's like those doomsday fanbois who are always claiming the world ends tomorrow so that if it does, they 'could' receive credit.
I.E. the crazy Yosemite guy from 2012 (movie).
I hate it though, it's not factual in my eyes...or factual enough... like claiming that women drivers are killers behind a killer machine or that Marajeehuwaaanah kills.

You're overthinking it. Content is evaluated and monetized based on the number of clicks it generates. People are stupid. You can make a lot of money exploiting stupid people for money by posting "hot" news about lowest common denominator interests. The average new car in the US costs around $30K. Most people who read car blogs are car enthusiasts. There are only so many enthusiast cars around $30K. This is why every car website runs the same clickbait articles on 86s, WRXs, Mustangs, Camaros, and Miatas. Most people have the buying power to get into one of these cars, so like it or not, this is where the content will be.
