Getting "Rick Rolled" refers to the internet meme where someone tricks you into clicking on a link that takes you to the music video for Rick Astley's 1987 hit song "Never Gonna Give You Up." Here are some ways to avoid getting Rick Rolled: 1. Don't click on unfamiliar links: Be cautious when clicking on links you don't recognize, especially if they're from sources you don't know. 2. Check the URL: Hover over the link to see the URL it leads to. If it's a shortened URL, use a URL expander to see where it leads before clicking on it. 3. Use an ad-blocker: Many Rick Rolls are disguised as ads, so using an ad-blocker can help you avoid them. 4. Use a search engine: If you're not sure if a link is legitimate, try searching for the content you're looking for on a search engine. This can help you find a trustworthy source. 5. Be wary of social media: Social media platforms are a common place for Rick Rolls to occur. Be cautious when clicking on links in posts or messages. By following these tips, you can avoid falling victim to the Rick Roll meme and stay safe online.
