Why do I keep falling for clickbait?
The first screen will show a guy in a white coat, so you assume he is a prominent doctor (when in truth he has no patients and is eager to earn a few $$$, maybe he isn't a doctor anyway, we don't see his credentials hanging on a nearby wall). The words on the screen read that you should never eat avocados again. READ MORE. Click. And here is an advertisement for cruise trips. (You did do a little search on cruise lines yesterday.)
A slight scroll and there appears a description of an avocado (as if you have never seen an avocado before). Another scroll to reveal an advertisement for the best in vacuum tools. If you want to learn more about avocados, stay on course, don't get detoured into exploring vacuum tools.
More scrolls, more advertisements and occasionally another sparse paragraph warning you about eating avocados, but not yet the reason. Advertisements to the right and the left, sometimes covering portions of the text about avocados. You should be able to remove the advertisements by clicking on an X, which is sometimes hard to find, if it exists at all.
