Examples of a Clickbait communicator

EX GF: Based on everything that has transpired between us, I am now going to proceed.
EX BF: Proceed with what?
EX GF: I'm taking final action based on the circumstances.
EX BF: What does that mean? Are you OK?
EX GF: Yeah everything is great!!!!

Coworker: I just talked to the boss and got some really interesting information on the down low.

You: OK, what's up?
Coworker: Nothing much; just some things that are going to happen.
You: What are you trying to tell me?
Coworker: Nothing really, we just had a discussion. It was nothing.

Clickbait Jockey 

Radio show presenters/hosts who do not achieve their status by merit or talent but by their ability to divide opinion and create social media mountains out of molehills. They are also prepared to endorse conversational topics which would, in regular discussion, send a glass-eye to sleep. Naturally, they think twitter is a reflection of the zeitgeist.
"Welcome to the show. Today's topic, is Donald Trump really an introvert? Call in now on..."

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!”
