This article will not restore your faith in humanity. Nor will it amaze, stun, delight, shock, charm, or in any literal or figurative way, blow your mind. What it will do—hopefully in a clear and intelligent way—is explain why people continually fall for clickbait. You know, like you just did a few seconds ago.........Whether you think it's on the rise, obscurant and self-negating, not such a big deal, or the root of all evil, one thing is clear about clickbait: It's increasingly hard to pin down. Some, like Buzzfeed’s Ben Smith, narrowly define it as an article that doesn't deliver on its headline's promise. Others think it means vapid listicles, quizzes, and Betteridge's Law headlines. And then there are those who simply use it as shorthand for stuff they don't like on the Internet.....https://www.wired.com/2015/12/psychology-of-clickbait/
BOOM!!!To early?
To early or not to early?
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous clickbate, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?
