Oh this is exactly what I wanted - I hope you make a firefox addon soon.
How does your approach of looking for text frequency compared to, say, pattern-matching existing clickbait titles from a database? Can the two approaches be combined (say, by using Splice to generate a corpus, remove false positives manually, then use it to train a pattern matcher?) Not having to load the linked article has huge benefits on bandwidth, robustness, etc.
- softdev12 10y agoThanks. This was built because someone posted an ASK HN a few weeks ago. They wanted to know if there was a way to stop clickbait. The text frequency approach seemed like the simplest and cleanest approach to build this in a short timeframe. Firefox addon is in the works. If you want to contribute code, go to github and make a pull request.
