It's a funny thing psychologically. I think it makes us feel smart to upvote the person saying it's all nonsense. Feels like now we're one level up in understanding. And that feeling makes it even harder to think about how maybe the comment is wrong and the article/title was right after all.
- spacebacon 3y agoI assume most everyone here on their free and unpaid time is here for entertainment purposes. Why waste time reading an article if the title already provides enough entertainment for a creative dialog?
- hot_gril 3y agoI'm not going to pretend that I read the article every time. But if I'm going to point out something I think the article is missing or accuse the title of being false, yeah I'll check the article first.
- spacebacon 3y agoIn my opinion a title should properly reflect the compressed contents of the article accurately and in full. If the title is just a setup for answering a question we all already probably knew anyway then it is simply click bait.
- Nition 3y agoThanks, this is indeed all I'm looking for.
