How is it click bait? The headline is literally telling you exactly the contents of the article.

    Again, what makes it click bait? It's telling you the article contents honestly. The colloquial style doesn't make it click bait.

      Posing 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.
