They sell you attention to something you didn’t expect. Click and bait says it all. In this case it’s something benefic, not selling you a device or service to help you in advertised ways. It’s just campaign to get kids away form smartphone and social media harm. I would not classify this as clickbait or self promotion. When you have kids you’ll think this more deeply and escape the knee jerk reaction that I don’t condemn at all. The web is mostly clickbait for self promotion.

Anything published on the internet wants readers. I don't know where you got the idea that 'clickbait' only applies to direct advertisements, but you should move past that.
- grugagag 2y agoIf keeping kids away from harm doesn’t mean anything to you then I can’t help you. But you probably don’t have kids or know anyone with kids nor you care.
- CyberDildonics 2y agoThis thread was about the title being click bait because it's vague and confusing. You took a hard left into "you don't care about the kids" territory and it has absolute nothing to do with what is being talked about here.
- grugagag 2y agoThis is not clickbait, it’s like a movement with a catchy name so it sticks. You seem to be stuck with clickbait but at the same time you don’t understand what clickbait is.
- CyberDildonics 2y agoThis is not clickbait, This is clickbait. it’s like a movement with a catchy name so it sticks No, it's a title with no information, because we're talking about the title. You seem to be stuck with clickbait but at the same time you don’t understand what clickbait is. No, you seem to not understand what clickbait is because you think it has to do with selling something directly, which is bizarre and not backed up by anything other than you claiming it. An intentionally sensationalized, vague or misleading headline https://copyposse.com/blog/clickbait-or-catchy-hook-how-to-write-headlines-that-dont-suck/ https://copyposse.com/blog/clickbait-or-catchy-hook-how-to-w... Explain to me how "Wait Until 8th" isn't intentionally vague. If you knew nothing else, what would the title tell you? Nothing. That's vague. There could be more information in the title but there isn't. That's intentional.
- grugagag 2y agoYou fundamentally misunderstand what clickbait is.
- CyberDildonics 2y agoNo, you fundamentally misunderstand what clickbait is. The difference is that I explained myself and gave an external source instead of just repeating the same claim over and over.
- grugagag 2y agoDespite doing what you claimed you are still wrong.
