MODERATORS
"Game I refuse to name is free but you better hurry!" That's clickbait. It's no different than "This child start got arrested. You won't believe who!" No context, all hype. Forced to click through for any actual useful information.
Do you think articles should include all relevant information in the title?
“Man’s home burglarized by criminal organization” is clickbait?
“Popular hotel burns in suspected arson” < clickbait?
“Senator wasn’t involved in assault, staffer says” clickbait too?
You’re welcome to write that article, let me know when it’s up.
