An other clickbait title from theverge?
- CamperBob2 3y agoEh, it's a legit beef.
- Dylan16807 3y agoWhat's clickbait about it? It seems quite clear to me, and vitriol doesn't make clickbait.
- wilg 3y ago> Microsoft has no shame entirely clickbait, ambiguous, over the top, all fluff > Bing spit on my ‘Chrome’ search comically, suspiciously aggressive > with a fake AI answer ah, the purpose of the article A non-clickbait, but not very punchy alternative is: "Microsoft's Bing Presents Pre-scripted Response as AI Chatbot in 'Chrome' Search Query"
- Dylan16807 3y ago> comically, suspiciously aggressive All of those words are necessary except 'spit'! Come on! And if you got rid of 'spit' you'd need a different verb. You could remove "Microsoft has no shame", but I don't think that changes whether the article title in total is clickbait or not. Clickbait would be "Microsoft has no shame" all by itself.
- wilg 3y agoI think your definition of clickbait is too narrow. For me, it includes the headline trying to gin up a controversy. But I don't really want to argue about it.
- bagacrap 3y agoClickbait would be something that's misleading. Hence the "bait" (and switch) allusion. Not everything has to sound like a reuters byline.
- liberty-bzmh 3y agoYes.
