Your argument seems to be that the topic is relevant, active, and frequent—-ergo, newsworthy. And because the content of the article is newsworthy, the headline for it is not clickbait. My definition of clickbait is a little different than that. It’s not so much the newsworthiness of the item behind the headline (one man’s old news is another man’s new insight), but rather the form of the headline itself. The more the headline plays on my emotions to pull me in, to try and push its relevancy ahead of an otherwise objective cataloging of information, the more clickbaity it is (to me at least). This particular headline is far from the worst, but the air of mystery it elicits seems to waft “psst, you gotta check this out.” So imho, it is slightly clickbaity. (I was going to use an analogy, but a previous HN article today taught me it’s better to use those in non-debate contexts).
