Looks like a question to me. Even has a little curly punctuation mark at the end.

    So everyone else then? Sounds like someone is just grumpy today.

      The headline of the article is a rhetorical question, one that the article itself then answers in detail. It's a very common device.

        Yes, it is a common clickbait tactic. Also, rhetorical questions, by definition, don't get answered. If it's rhetorical then the article content is pointless? I don't see why this bothers you all. Saved me a click so I appreciate the comment.
