This reminds me of Gordon Kelly, a senior contributor, whose every articles that pointed Chrome's weakness would often headlined "Google Just Gave Millions Of Users A Reason To Quit Chrome". Sure enough, the headlines will be edited after awhile, but I consider this kind of original headline a clickbait. I eventually have to delist Forbes from my reading feed. It's that terrible.

- tpict 5y agoit was the same author’s “Apple iOS [every version] Has A Nasty Surprise” headlines that made me drop them
- seanp2k2 5y agoClickbait is a charitable interpretation. Perhaps one less so would involve betting on related stock prices before publishing such a headline.
