That’s a click bait title, I’m afraid to click.
- thehappypm 5y agoHow is it click bait? The headline is literally telling you exactly the contents of the article.
- ant6n 5y ago"Here's what happens next"
- thehappypm 5y agoAgain, what makes it click bait? It's telling you the article contents honestly. The colloquial style doesn't make it click bait.
- rawTruthHurts 5y ago> what makes it click bait? "Here's what happens next"
- ant6n 5y agoPosing a question instead of a title that summarizes the content. „X happened - see what happens next“ is a classical click bait example, which are often about trying to create a mystery that’s only resolved when clicking the thing. If the title was descriptive one could decide one is not interested.
