Just read the comments before you read the article to crowdsource your dereference. Choosing to boycott linkbait will hardly make a difference as the linkbait

  That doesn't save you the dereferencing, though. It'll actually add another dereferencing for 15% of the articles, although by scanning the comments instead of the article you don't give the writer the satisfaction of a higher page view count (and possibly related ad income). Which in turn, in an ideal world, would make linkbait titles less popular (in favor of some other scheme, of course). So, sounds like a good idea to me!
