That's a very circular argument and definition. By that definition, any headline of any article will be clickbait to someone just by them saying so regardless of any truth in the matter. People lie every day. If you are looking at 'reading' articles, its kind of expected that you will read them if you choose to do so. Complaining about it doesn't change any meaningful thing. I really don't understand the point you were trying to communicate. Is it that you want someone to just tell you everything to believe, without needing to critically think at all? People lie, so it sounds like you want something that will never come to pass, and trying to make it come to pass would only create a negative outcome for you, those close to you, and anyone else that happened to be within your sphere of influence, at least given a sufficient amount of time. For the past couple thousand years of history exploitation has been the norm in various forms. Did I completely misread what you meant (but didn't say?). Could you clarify?
