Get the Not clickbait mug.Someone with way too much time on their hands who gets a cheap thrill by clicking on Google Adsense, Google Adword and other Sponsored Ads on searches and websites that he knows will cost that company a paid click even tho he has no intention of checking out the site or the product. Especially likes to click on sites belonging to larger companies or porn sites, with the click representing a little f*ck you to that company.
When a clickster has nothing better to do, a clickster does random Google searches and clicks on the paid ads to cost those companies a few cents each.

Get the clickbaiter mug.A cheap tactic used to gain views. Common types of clickbait are misleading titles (You Won't Believe What Happens Next!) or more recently with the rise of custom YouTube thumbnails, misleading thumbnails-most commonly boobs.
1) There are so many clickbait articles here. Who writes this stuff anyway?
2) Anything from Flashgitz. Seriously.

Get the clickbait mug.The thing I absolutely hate the most.
This method is set up by what looks like a cool or innocent article, video, etc, but once the viewer clicks on it, the creator gets profit.
On YouTube, there are many of these YouTubers. They often use overused thumbnails such as boobs, or annoying things IN the thumbnails, such as circles or arrows. These are usually attractive to many viewers, and once they get their hands on that video, the creator gains money just from people clicking.
Some may also use misleading titles. Again, this is another way to lure viewers into a video that just has a misleading title put there on purpose. And again, this is another way the creator can get money.
There are some YouTubers I've come across, and as a very underrated YouTuber, I find this act selfish and a lazy way to get money. If there's a day I get popular, I would never use this stupid method to gain money; I'd be out of my house, earning money at a REAL job.

Clickbait is just the worst thing I've seen. And I hate how some people get away with it, like YouTubers do not get terminated for spam content.
