Unpopular opinion: I paid $50 for a 'verified' blind item about a pop star's secret marriage that turned out to be a total fanfiction plot.

The 'source' was just a person on a gossip app who admitted they made it up for clout after I already Venmo'd them, so has anyone else been burned by paying for 'insider' info that was obviously fake?

Honestly, that's so frustrating. I fell for something similar last year, paid like thirty bucks for "backstage tea" about a band's breakup that was just copied from an old Reddit theory. Tbh, it made me feel so dumb. Now I just assume any "insider" asking for cash is making it up for rent money.

Ugh, that's the worst! It feels like everyone's trying to sell a secret these days, not just about bands but like, everything. Makes it hard to know what's real.

What worked for me was only trusting sources that give proof first.
