All titles are clickbait, researchers, bloggers, youtuber, conference speakers, and journalists who succeed are also ones who know how to choose good titles

  Not all titles are clickbait, and even if the majority are, we should strive for better

    Clickbait is a spectrum not a binary. I think keeping google in the title doesn't detract from conveying what the article is about while at the same time making it more attractive.

  Definition of clickbait [1] (emphasis mine): something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest. The title of the article matches the content, so, no, it wasn't a clickbait. Also, if the title was really a clickbait, someone would have surely called it out before my gripe about the title change. In fact, 2 others complained about the title change before I posted my top-level comment; those others' complaints and my responses are now buried under the "More" link at the end of this page. I understand you, @baby, have good intentions, but I take offense to @bzb6's remarks. I guess that's what I get for responding to a recently created account (41 days ago) with no posts and all of whose comments are one-liners; mostly knee-jerk reactions, no insights, and not considering the nuances of the real-world implications.
