'autistic' clickbait

A phrase made by Sawtooth18 on Scratch, someone who makes these types of projects is obviously autistic, and/or it can grab an autistic person's attention.
'autistic' clickbait projects are usually grounding/ungrounding, alphabet/number-related projects, and other cartoony, colorful characters.
Example: search up "Klasky Csupo gets grounded" and you'll see those vids, also there are 2 or more characters, 1 thumbs up and the other thumbs down.
It’s just that the chance of them being neurodiverse is very high.
(No offense to autistic people, I'm autistic myself)
Lil' austin wanted to watch the Ipad, so mom gave him the Ipad. As he was watching, older bro, Narchy, saw him watching sound effects g major stuff and 'autistic' clickbait.(Since Lil' Austin was autistic himself) He had no idea who came up w/ these

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!”

Clickbait

Internet content whose main purpose is to attract attention and encourage visitors to click on a link to a particular web page. Ad blockers and a general fall in advertising clicks also affected the clickbait model, as websites moved towards sponsored advertising and native advertising where the content of the article was more important than the click-rate from users of the website. Chum boxes/chumbuckets are usually associated with clickbait, which they do, to some extent. "One weird trick" is a form of clickbait advertising that has been common on the internet since around the late 2000s. The formula used in the advertisements was first applied to weight loss products but has since been extended to cures for problems including hair loss and diabetes. Yellow journalism and the yellow press are American terms for journalism and associated newspapers that present little or no legitimate well-researched news while instead using eye-catching headlines for increased sales. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. Sensationalism is what clickbait is.
"THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR EYE COLOR..." is a title that is misleading clickbait. "Top 10 <whatevers> that exist in real life!' is clickbait that may include Pokemon as a object. Pokemon are not real, hence the title is misleading.
