So tired of people not knowing what clickbait is and accusing every title or phrase of being clickbait.

Hey, you don’t like the title? Cool. You don’t like what the title talks about? Sure. You don’t like that titles have to be short? I can dig that.

But unless the title is a gross misrepresentation of reality, or the content of what you’re going to watch or listen, it IS NOT CLICKBAIT.

@thelinuxEXP The meaning of clickbait is often misunderstood. Clickbait can be good. Something like a title that doesn't give a lot of information to make someone curious without giving any false information is an example of good clickbait.
