Clickbaitism

The act of creating clickbait headlines - to lure readers to inane, untrue or double-minded articles - sold as journalism.

Clickbaitism is clickbait combined with really bad and dishonest journalism.

Especially social media and sponsored articles lead to a new form of clickbaitism.

Clickbait-Bob

Teasing people in group chats who never respond with something irrestible, than pulling a bait & switch.
“Why did Hill cross the road?”

“1”

“None of my business. Hills a grown ass woman and I don’t need to know all the details of her life. Furthermore, I trust her judgement. She could have been buying groceries for all I care. Or better yet perhaps it’s a Norwegian tradition. But at the end of the day, I think we should ALL respect each others privacy!!”

“Love it! Def not Clickbait-Bob”

“Actually, that was textbook Clickbait-Bob!”
