Nope, 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.
