From a story on CNN.
The city of Veles in Yugoslavia has turned into a hot bed of fake news websites. It started with one guy who realized he could get lots of views, and hence ad revenue from Facebook pages, and websites carrying fake news stories aimed at Trump supporters.
He then taught other young people in that city on how to make money this way. Over 100 websites were found during the last election to be originating in this Yugoslavian town.
Apparently Facebook took down his page a while ago as it, and Google attempt to crackdown on this issue. But he is already preparing for 2020 to again produce more pro-Trump fake news.
*sad*
