That's quite facile.
"Elephants of all ages and both sexes were affected, with many walking in circles before dying suddenly, collapsing on their faces."
"Other things experts tested for included cyanide, which some people use to poison elephants"
That's quite traumatic.
Skip the click - really?

- DonHopkins 3y agoWhy don't you skip posting anything instead of discussing something that has nothing to do with the topic. Your "contribution" is also worse than clickbait.
- jancsika 3y agoIn which which this article would be an exception to your claim. 1. Headline suggests an answer 2. Content of article delivers the actual answer 3. There are even links provided to previous articles showing that this had been a bona fide mystery until recently Clickbait is stuff like a youtube video titled "OMG Car market just flipped!" and it's a 15 minute video where a podcaster gets told by his dad various reasons to believe the car market hasn't really flipped yet.
- contrarian1234 3y ago＂1. Headline suggests an answer 2. Content of article delivers the actual answer＂ that's literally the definition of click bait .... They bait you into clicking to get the answer They could have instead changed the title to include the answer "Scientists discover the death of dozens of endangered elephants was due to blood poisoning" But then no one would click, bc most people wouldn't care to learn more. And then the Guardian wouldn't get its sweet sweet ad revenue

- huytersd 3y agoI disagree. The headlines may designed to drawn you in but the back it up with good content in the articles.
