legitbait

Clickbait that is enticing, but does not mislead the user. It is legitimate and delivers on what it promises to show. Also known as Type I clickbait, the term was originally suggested by Brady Haran (Numberphile on YouTube).

I thought the title for the article: “9/10 Americans don’t know these bizarre facts” was clickbait. But it was legitbait! I didn’t know any of these facts!
