- davidgerard 10mo agoAuthor here! "clickbaity" implies deception. I think I delivered on the title, given that's the message of the post and there's variants of the phrase three or four times.
- undeveloper 10mo agomaybe true you delivered, but "You're a loser" is almost standard clickbait, i don't agree with clickbait is only active deception. "if you do X, you're LOSING OUT (no elaboration in title)" is almost a textbook example of clickbait.
- davidgerard 10mo agoA headline that delivers in the text is called an "effective headline".
