People are bored with it, and other clickbait-style sites.
- vonmoltke 11y agoBased on the number of links she sends me,my wife isn't bored with it yet.
- actionwords 11y agowomen are the top market for clickbait articles... wonder why they're more susceptible. Might be similar to why they're more obsessed on average with celebrity than their male counterparts.
- minimaxir 11y agoPeople aren't bored, but the economics have changed in terms of ad revenue, and the notion of linkbait has been tragedy-of-the-commonsed since everyone is doing it.

- CameronBanga 11y agoOr everyone else is just stealing the playbook, and consumers really don't care where the content comes from. Readers of clickbait presumably get to such pages from social shares aimed to grab a click, and probably have no loyalty to the site producing the clickbait.
- Reedx 11y ago> probably have no loyalty to the site producing the clickbait I think that's spot on. There's more competition in clickbait and the strategy ultimately doesn't result in any sort of loyalty. They are there for the headline, quickly consume what little content there is and close the tab. It's a process of finding a new "weird trick" and then overuse it until people get sick of seeing it. Then find a new hook and repeat the process ad infinitum.
