Confusion Among Fans

They then go on to link to a fellow Netflix fansite, NetflixLife, ran by Fansided. Specifically, they link to their big season 3 preview for Sex Education.

“We expect the show to return to season 3 in August or September or by October 2021.”

Well, firstly it’s posted with the intention of going viral. However, collecting imaginary internet points is made even sweeter if you can make a few pennies too. That’s what’s happening in this instance.

Why?

If you look at the aforementioned NetflixLife page, there’s a small tag added to the end. That allows that person to earn some money for the traffic that is pushed through to that site. This is commonly known as an affiliate scheme.

They hope this is viral enough to generate enough traffic to that link that will earn them money.

Of course, you can argue that all of this is harmless fun and no one gets hurt but false stories are full of entertainment stories and it is worth trying to fight them whenever you see them.
