I just found this linked in the ads at the bottom of a cnn.com story. If you ever wanted to take Tavarish's advice time might be running out. It mentions him and Jalopnik by name.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I hope he remembers us when he's famous.

yeah, makes sense Jalopnik has joined the clickbait (de)evolution. CNN doesn't do retargeting or I would say they were starting to do that, whatever ad network they are running (I think it is outbrain) is just a CPM pay to play.

It didn't link directly to jalopnik. It went to another site and it had a bunch of cars that Tavarish has recommended listed. It just mentioned him and Jalopnik in this first slide of the slide show.

I just hope people read the articles and comments for his post before running out and buying some of the stuff listed. People could end up in a world of financial ruin if they don't factor in maintenance costs on some of those cars.

oh shit, I missed that. And that god DAMN slideshow is just so those fuckers can serve ads, that go to shitty advertisers, retargeting, or to other motherFUCKING slideshows that serve more ads. Sorry, I work in the business of online advertising. I keep my shit clean, this is just bottom feeding advertising right here.

They do represent incredible value #ifnothinggoeswrong . Or if you can do all the work yourself like approximately .001% of CNN's readership. :P

I know the owner of this site. He is a BIG fan of Jalopnik and of Tavarish's. While a fair bit of the content on his site is rather clickbaity, he is working to grow the site into an ethusiast site like jalopnik. He just has to pay bills and clickbait does that rather well.

Fair enough, I wish him all the best. But, once you put something click baity on a site it diminishes the value of the site in my eyes. However if he is a true car guy, I will definitely visit the site more often to help him out. I hope it works out for him I genuinely do.
