With as much spyware garbage and paywall nonsense and other anti-reader practices as these media companies engage in, I’m really sympathetic to someone offended by being asked to click on the basis of “just trust us, the information we’re vaguely promising up here is somewhere in this article”
Unfortunately irrelevant. Sometimes information is dense, it happens. Clickbait is wasting people’s time at best, and intentionally misleading at worst. This headline (for a free article) is neither
Clickbait is anything that “baits” you into clicking it.
“This thing happened and you won’t guess who had something to maybe do with it” clickbait
Then don’t click it. Easy-peezy.
Are you threatened by the idea of reading? Would you rather titles not exist? Is it the reading or is it the clicking that offends you the most?
