I was Reading the article about CH deciding if to take his Ferrari or his M5. I reach the bottom of the page and it says:

You may like
Porsche test driver killed

Surely that's not right!

Just got the same link. The Porsche test driver story is from 2009.
What's the point of this "YOU MAY LIKE" option, so many of the stories are ancient! Odd when it relates to a car from some time ago, but very disturbing when it concerns something like a driver's death.

"You May Like" can be filed under irritating crap. It can't even get the type of PH content I like right suggesting I might want to look at an article on the Gemballa Mirage, a car that wouldn't interest me if I was an idle billionaire. It is also currently suggesting I might want to look into;

"16 CELEBS YOU HAD NO IDEA DIDN'T DRINK" alongside a photograph of someone I had NO IDEA was a celebrity.

Also 16 is a suspiciously specific number of celebrities...

Ignore the "you may like". It's a load of crap.

I get "you make like" from external sources. For example, today there is a story about some Porsches catching fire, an old 911 (again slightly confusing as generally I don't search for Porsches), as well as "signs your body gives you days before a heart attack". WTF? I have recently had an ECG, which was fine, but I didn't search for heart attacks or anything like that.

Why are we getting external stuff there? As if articles from years ago wasn't bad enough. I'm in a bad mood, so, sort your st out PH.

It's something called advertising, it helps to pay for the forum. There has been advertising in the same place for quite a while now. It used to be Google Ads, but they changed something which PH towers didn't like, so they got rid of Google Ads and replaced it with Taboola Ads.

Advertising is not links to PH articles from 5 years ago.

I've just had the same as the OP

I can assure you all that I do not like this.



It's a bit tasteless.
