clickbait would be
1) "You'll never believe what we built in only 120GB of Ram"
2) "This is how much RAM you need to run an OSM server"
3) "10 reasons you need this simple piece of technology in your life"
I agree that this is pretty uninteresting and don't know why it got so many upvotes, but it definitely isn't clickbait.
- mynewtb 10y agoNope, this is absolutely clickbait akin to pretending 'Wikipedia in 5 megabytes' if you limit that to just pokemon and no images. It gives a false promise.
- sixhobbits 10y agoEven if it were lying outright (and it didn't claim "complete Open Street Maps" or anything akin), it still wouldn't be clickbait. If we want to kill clickbait, we shouldn't overload the term. "Wikipedia in 5MB" = lie "How small do you think this popular encyclopedia can become? The number will blow your mind" = clickbait
- mynewtb 10y agoNow we are fighting semantics. I consider lies in titles to be attempts to bait my interest. If they are in link titles, they try to make me click. Thus = clickbait. Not sure how that definition changed after buzzfeed but that's how I 'learned' it many years ago.
- jbicha 10y agoIt's interesting because MapQuest discontinued their free OpenStreetMap tile server this week, leaving map app developers scrambling to find something else to use. But if you're not a map app developer or a user of one of the affected maps, then it's probably not interesting.
