- ghaff 9y agoAlso newsflash. Headlines have been clickbait to a greater or lesser degree since before there were clicks. Yes, they exist in part to tell you what the article is about but their main function is to intrigue you about the contents.
- MaxBarraclough 9y agoSo I should be ok with being lied to to get clicks? This journalistic blight may indeed have been happening for a long time, but it still discredits the source and should disqualify it from HN. Some titles are actually honest. Who would've thunk?
