This makes sense. It’s like how clickbait headlines would, if they previously didn’t exist, improve click rates. But long term if your platform was all click bait it would fatigue the users. Or at least, one might think so...
- alan_wade 8y agoClickbait + low quality content is what fatigues users. Personally I don't mind clickbait if after doing whatever it takes to grab my attention, the creator delivers on an actually solid high quality educational/entertaining content.
- WA 8y agoThis concept is called: overpromise and underdeliver. The content should at least match the promise of the headline, or even overdeliver. Then readers are happy.
- mikestew 8y agoPersonally I don't mind clickbait if after doing whatever it takes to grab my attention, the creator delivers on an actually solid high quality Captain Pedantic, reporting for duty, and that’s not actually clickbait. If the masterful baiter of clicks actually delivers, then it wasn’t bait. I mean, what’s to complain about? Turns out there is a way to target stubborn belly fat, five minutes a day, who knew?
