Comments
Appreciate the debunk section. As someone who used to work freelance with Sportskeeda, their leadership (when I was there, no clue if this is still true) was to clickbait as much as possible as they had me under a pay per click contract and the leadership curates the title of articles and gives you the links to source. Again, no idea if they are still doing that and that was just their wrestling section. Their sports section gave titles but were more open to being creative with writing within their guidelines!
