- dang 2y agoI had switched it to that, but then noticed that joebig had used the subtitle, which is also legit.
- lostemptations5 2y agoI would have never read your title. The whole reason I clicked was because of the mystery element.
- jonex 2y agoTo me it sounded like click bait. So I checked comments and concluded that it was indeed about the very visible RDS signal and not some hidden channel used by some secretive agency that would indeed be somewhat mysterious. I don't think the fact that it worked in generating clicks is really an argument for bait titles. Given the positive comments about the content I think some editorializing could have been helpful to focus on the hacking journey aspect though, which seems to be the point rather the specifics of RDS itself.
- CyberDildonics 2y agoWhy do you need to be manipulated into reading something? When it turns out they are calling standard radio data "mysterious" don't you feel lied to?
- pessimizer 2y agoIsn't that the definition of clickbait?
