We should assume by default that every headline is clickbait now, unfortunately this is the business model of the internet. It's not good for accuracy and most articles are just a headline and some inane filler up words. I hope we'll smart up and find a better model for news soon. :/

We could pay for it like we did for the hundreds of years prior to the internet, but they'll still make-up eye-grabbing headlines.

We're still paying for it. It's just that the currency's changed.

Also the lesser clickbait offense of using the word “just”.

This is an excellent description of the situation--one that I thought was more common knowledge than it appears to be. :/

Ok, we've debaited it.
