An online tool used to lure people into clicking on your website. It comes in a couple different forms:
One form of click bait is a thumbnail. Often these types of click bait will feature pictures of hot women or something else that can grab your attention
Another popular form is the caption of a thumbnail. These are used to build suspense and make you want to read the page. Some popular examples are "*politician* does *something newsworthy*", "you won't believe what *celebrity* did", and finally, "amazing trick to *do something hard*"
Click bait was very popular when youtube began, as many aspiring youtubers would utilize click bait to get people to click on their videos.

Click-bait is something that someone uses a thing that usually to get someone attention. After they clicked it's not what they wanted. Common on Youtube and ROBLOX. Click-bait titles most likely have a name like this: ''I ALMOST DIED'' or ''PRANKING IN THE HOOD (GONE WRONG)''. Those are things that never happen in the video. No one almost dies and no one pranks in the hood (usually actors). The other way people click-bait is when something happened in the video they make it look more dramatic on the thumbnail and the title. People also like to add sexual things to the thumbnail or title to grab peoples attention. For example: ''THE MOST HOTTEST GAME EVER'' It turns out to be some first-person shooter game. The other way people click-bait is they say a title but they don't finish it so you can get curious to click on the video. For example: ''WE NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING'' or ''WHO DID THIS TO ME?!''.
Click-bait sucks.

When there is a video or article that has an eye catching thumbnail but when you click the Video/article it has nothing to do with the thumb nail

Click bait is a guy you meet online who gets you to click his link and sucks you in with his golden promises and all the right words that make you want more while never actually getting anything in return. He’s more sophisticated than a PUA pickup artist because he’s not a player, he’s a pimp! He will notoriously get you to invest every last precious resource into his ponzi scheme of emotion.
Jane crying to Mary: "We messaged and texted for 3 days and he was so responsive, he even friended me on facebook and followed me on IG and Snap, then I slept with him and he ghosted me!"
Mary: "Yeah..he's a click bait."
Mary: "Yeah..he's a click bait."
