<ot> LOL, yes I suppose there is always that chance. Probably if that's the case the material would be subscriber-only to justify the extra laughs. Like some revolting reality show...

As a purely hypothetical example of such PPV content:
"XXXXXXX's soul exposed - a study in petty greed

Last week I told you how I sold my unborn children to Merck for use in their laboratories, in return for pumping their stock. Pretty low, you think? Why, that's nothing! Just to begin with, their flesh was already owned by J&J anyhow. So obviously going short on Merck was a smart move there, and I got some good suckers.

Hey, it's tough being a big wheel. When I ran a hedge fund we regularly scammed thousands, and even Jehovah's Witnesses knew better than to stop by after we turned three into soup - disposed of at a profit - and sold another two into slavery in Moroccan brothels. Ah, I pull my beard at you all.

Today I'm paid to say how much I like EBay, and why not to worry even though you'll all be dead before seeing any return from it that doesn't require a greater fool to buy you out..."

or am I being too fanciful there?
