It’s just hitting modern marketing requirements. In old
Newspapers anything other than the headline didn’t sell the paper, so could be informational. Now the article headline determines click through rate and therefore revenues. So, you are understandably being annoyed by a shift from informational to click bait.
But, ask yourself: which one would you click on?

Click bait titles I never click on unless I absolutely need information on that topic and there's nothing else in search engine results or other sources. In this case I'm only mildly interested, so I won't attempt to read the article. Fuck it.
