So yesterday I spotted this clickbait headline about Mariah Carey pics while scrolling. Figured I’d document what actually happens when you chase that garbage.
Getting Drawn In
Opened my browser and punched that exact phrase into the search bar. First ten results were all sketchy sites promising “free downloads” with giant download buttons blinking everywhere. Clicked one pretending to be a fan forum – instant pop-up hell. My ad blocker went nuts blocking fifty trackers before the page even loaded.
Navigating The Trap
Tried different keywords like “Mariah Carey leaked photos 2024”. More scammy sites popped up. One asked me to install a “video codec” to view content – classic virus move. Another wanted credit card details for “age verification”. Yeah right. Even found shady forums demanding cryptocurrency payments for supposed private collections. Total grift.
Reality Check
After two hours of this circus, three things became obvious:
- Every “free download” link either installed malware or tried to steal my info
- Actual search results only showed decades-old concert pics and magazine shoots
- My antivirus quarantined three trojans during this dumpster dive
Switching Gears
Felt disgusted with myself. Decided to actually support Mariah instead of being a creep. Went straight to her official store and bought two digital albums – Butterfly and Daydream. Spent the evening listening properly. Way better use of $20 than feeding some hacker’s bitcoin wallet.
Final takeaway? Any search for celebrity nudes is just a malware safari. The artists deserve respect, not creepy searches. Support their actual work, not some scumbag’s phishing scam.
