Oh, and another thing: They don't just predict the next word.
You're viewing a single thread.
'is weirder than you thought '
I am as likely to click a link with that line as much as if it had
'this one weird trick' or 'side hussle'.
I would really like it if headlines treated us like adults and got rid of click baity lines.
But then you wouldn't need to click on thir Ad infested shite website where 1-2 paragraphs worth of actual information is stretched into a giant essay so that they can show you more Ads the longer you scroll
I will never understand how ppl survive without ad blockers. Tried it once recently and it was a horrific experience.
I'm thankful for such people's sacrifice, if it wasn't for them there would be even more anti ad block measures in place
Same way you survive live TV. You learn to mentally block out ads.
You watch live tv?
Not anymore, of course. But nothing beats that brain rot apart from sites that hijack your controls.
They do it because it works on the whole. If straight titles were as effective they'd be used instead.
Well, I'm doing my part against them by refusing to click on any bait headlines, but I fear it's a lost cause anyway.
I try and just ignore it and read what I'm interested in regardless. From what I hear about the YouTube algo, for instance, clickbait titles are necessity more than a choice for YouTubers, if they don't use them they get next to no engagement early and the algo buries that video which can impact the channel in general.
It really is quite unfortunate, I wish titles do what titles are supposed to do instead of being baits.but you are right, even consciously trying to avoid clicking sometimes curiosity gets the best of me. But I am improving.
The one weird trick that makes clickbait work
That's mildly depressing.
