We regret to inform you that you’ve been Rickrolled.
Rickrolling is a popular internet meme and prank involving a misleading hyperlink that unexpectedly leads to the music video for Rick Astley’s 1987 hit “Never Gonna Give You Up”. Originating in the late 2000s, this bait-and-switch tactic has become a, often harmless, cultural ritual, even catching the singer himself on occasion. Now the video has over a billion views.
