Where do you think they will cut costs when their clickbait income disappoints sometime in the future? Also, I think that given enough financial interest, media businesses like that can be pressured into not publishing/investigating something. They won't take on big financial interests, because in the end, readers are their product, not their reporting.
So I sure hope that will not be the future of journalism.

That's the problem we have with nearly all media businesses these days. The exception are the various public media institutions (eg NPR, BBC, ARD/ZDF) because they do not depend on advertising, but they are subjected to pressure by politicians in leadership positions...
