  Because clickbait gets clicks! That's what makes it clickbait, rather than just being some nonsense nobody clicks on. Flag it if you hate it.

  HN has systems to prevent voting rings. Yes, sometimes clickbait makes it to the front page here. Sometimes people just gonna to be baited, even on HN. But flags won out on this one and it spent only an hour on the front page.
