I'm not sure what kind of definition of 'infertile' is consistent with 'had four children live to teenhood or later another that managed a couple months, and two more that were at least born live'.
- denton-scratch 5y agoThat's called "clickbait".
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoYeah, if the question was "Is Dwayne Johnson, the Rock, infertile!?!" but I'm guessing not too many people care enough about Henry VIII to be baited to click by the salaciousness of the title. on edit: fix typo
- geoduck14 5y agoCan a title still be click-bait if it is ineffective? Given the author had already written the piece, and they want to concoct a title to "get clicks and disregard accuracy" - this title might be the most effective
- bryanrasmussen 5y agowell let's say I want to write a click-baity title and after thinking about it long and hard I hit on "I am super boring", as it happens this title turns out to be extremely ineffective as click-bait. My contention is that the intention to click-bait is not sufficient, but that a threshold of capability to match the intention must be reached.
- kypro 5y agoYeah, that confused me when I first looked at the article. Obviously he wasn't? He had several children... I have no idea how the word "infertility" is used clinically, however I would think the title, "did Henry VIII have fertility problems?" would be more correct.
