For those of you who are new to clickbait, clickbait is language used to bait you into clicking on it. For those of you already following clickbait for a while, you know that it is language that gets you to click on things. Is clickbait really as bad as it seems? Ok, enough beating around the bush, yes clickbait is really as bad as it seems. Even a month ago, we wouldn't have said such clickbait could appear on hacker news. But something has changed. Someone actually linked to clickbait on hacker news. ... I'm not sure if I should be appalled or if I should be taking notes. :-/
