No, I'm not judging them, I just said my view of them took a tumble. When I feel tricked, I lose trust in whoever tricked me. And negative trust is often lasting. It's hard to gain trust and very easy to lose it.
BUT: I didn't read the whole article. I read kogepathic's comment first, which gave away the twist and framed the headline as clickbait, and I went along with that. But I now see it's as you say. Lesson learned.
I definitely don't think that writing an intriguing headline and delivering on it with a satisfying story counts as clickbait. Clickbait is something that fails to deliver at all, not something that delivers in a way you didn’t expect.
