Spoiled food makes no sense indeed. However, what this guy does makes definitely business sense.

People do not care about the truth.

+ Fake news goes viral.

+ Medium tells people that the ones who passed away still love and talk to them.

+ Religion in general.

+ Advertisements about medicines with fake doctors.

+ Advertisements in general.

+ Gossip.

+ Sensationalized scientific breakthroughs.

And then there is a lot not true, but it is at least within a context clear that it is not true, like fairy tales and literature. All the other examples are however disinformation and people doing business using it.
