Nah really it was probably some small thing the media got a hold of and just ran with. I think you're spot on

Your SMBC link doesn't work for me, it just opens the index.

Smbc is Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, but what does xkcd stand for?

On the contrary; while I have heard the explanation that the commenter you replied to has said I have also heard a slightly different theory:

Our universe is the 3 dimensional event horizon of a 4th dimensional black hole. By extension we may find that black holes in our universe have similar funky 2 dimensional areas at their even horizons.

I am sure clickbait articles are part of it but there also seems to be several actual theories surrounding the idea of the nature of our universe relating to black holes.
