They are mad because of the economic exemptions the EU gave Ukraine to support the war has hurt their profits. Ukrainian truck drivers are making the best of it and taking deals in Europe that are normally more expensive and Ukrainians have no access to.
Fuck that clickbait. Why do journalists feel the need to continue this annoying practice ?
Why you say it's a clickbait? The article does talks about the points you mention.
Clickbait titled articles often do but purposefully obscure the topic. A title should inform the reader of the content, such as "Polish truck drivers protest EU war exemptions for Ukraine".
Instead, click bait articles go for sensationalist non informative titles, like "You won't BELIEVE what Polish truck drivers have done by the border to Ukraine!!!!"
The simple fact is that journalism requires money, and that money comes from advertisements in the case of free online publications. This title isn’t unreasonable, it piques your interest to click the article, and the article informs you exactly about what you expected.
I don’t really have an issue with this.
