[–] Chewbaccabra@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (2 children) Is it a requirement to use exact headlines? Repeating a clickbait headline on lemmy seems crazy to me. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Is it clickbait if it's a pretty accurate summary, though? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bob_omb_battlefield@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yes. It's clickbait because it doesn't tell you the name of the game. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works -5 points 1 year ago (1 child) Huh. I guess that's a matter of perspective? I wasn't interested in the name, and even after reading the article I don't recall what the name was. I just found the story interesting. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 17 points 1 year ago (1 child) I don't really think it's a matter of perspective. These sites all omit the title of whatever thing it is they're talking about so you have to click through to find out. They do it because research has shown it works to increase clicks. That is well within the definition of clickbait. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works -7 points 1 year ago (1 child) I mean, whether it works as clickbait depends on your perspective. I don't disagree it may be intended that way, it just didn't hit that way for me in particular. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BossDj@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago If it follows clickbait pattern it is clickbait, whether you personally felt baited or not Writing "This game" instead of the game's name has literally only one possible intention. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Fallstar@mander.xyz [S] 1 point 1 year ago No, just laziness. permalink fedilink source parent
