Speaking of getting views whether true or not, here's the Guardian getting money for spreading misinformation: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/25/ukraine-soldiers-told-russians-to-go-fuck-yourself-before-black-sea-island-death https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/25/ukraine-soldie...
They go on to say "The truth, they say, is the first casualty of war," and to ask for money, in that very article. No matter how many times this happens, the Guardian will never get blacklisted on HN as a purveyor of fake news.
