What's the click bait part? The part you quoted? The first sentence of the article is:
> After 63 years teaching and over 10 million views on his online lectures...
Is the difference of his three years as a student too much to overlook?
- jtuple 3y agoI suppose GP is using clickbait in the looser sense that the title omits info (the professor's name) and thus invites a click; rather than the more common use of clickbait to label titles that are exaggerated, misleading, or "one-weird-trickey". Granted, titles can't contain a full articles worth of facts, so omitted info is always expected; but omitting primary subject's name does lean somewhat reader-hostile (IMO).
