Is that really a clickbait headline? I mean sure it’s phrased as a question, but you can’t just put a whole lede as the headline.

- krageon 7y agoIt's a simple question with a simple answer, yet it sounds curious and draws you in. The answer really shouldn't surprise you at all. In fact, you could be forgiven for reading and coming out on the other side of your reading experience asking yourself "why did I read this again?". If that is not clickbait, then what is it?
- twelve40 7y ago> really shouldn't surprise you It did surprise me very much since I don't know much about that field, and the article itself had a lot more curious/useful/new to me info like, quote, "We don't have massive [food safety] issues on either side of the Atlantic. Both methods seem to work" that expanded on the title. I hate clickbait as much as anyone else, but this didn't look like it.
- sutterbomb 7y agoThe criteria for clickbait can't be "some people may already know this". Congrats for having all this knowledge before reading the article though.
