You might try using a VPN service. It can mask your IP address and make it harder for the source of the stories to know it's you viewing. However, not all VPNs are reliable and some might have limitations or even be against the terms of service of certain platforms.
One way is to use a private or anonymous browsing session. This typically doesn't store cookies or cache data related to your viewing. But keep in mind, some platforms might have their own tracking methods that could still potentially detect your activity.
You could use incognito mode in your browser. That way, your viewing history won't be saved and it's less likely to be detected.
