The next evolution from clickbait lists is intentionally provocative stories like the one discussed here.
What alternative model can work aside from measuring pure clicks though? Even "the time on site" solution they mention here (if it were even workable) has problems, just because I spend a few minutes reading something doesn't mean it's high quality. Equally high quality content need not necessarily take a long time to consume.

Attraction to spectacle results in not only clicks on that "Outrageous Statement X", but also so one can firmly applaud/smugly disdain it. And I'm not just pretending its only other people who do this; I'm not proud but I've fallen into that hole myself.
