> "Lure" is a nice short word for "attract with incentives" In american english, lure has negative connotations - like pedophiles luring children with candy or human traffickers luring vulnerable people with the false hope of a better life elsewhere.

Do you think the headlines below leave the reader with a negative impression? "FedEx lures sellers with two-day air shipping after Amazon contract ends" "Cloudflare goes big on serverless with new CLI, lures devs with free tier" "Shopping for nostalgia: Toys R Us lures Michigan fans to Canada" "A ‘Honking Big’ Cave in Canada Lures Geologists to Its Mouth" "North of Netherlands Lures Elon Musk with Billboards" Is two-day air shipping bad for sellers? Is signing up for Cloudflare's free tier a mistake? Is Canada a dangerous country full of toys and geologist-swallowing caves? Will visiting the north of the Netherlands be the end of Elon Musk?
