This is an interesting thought, but the same incentive exists in ad based revenue sites today, and I don't really see it getting worse. If anything, I'm going to be more careful to click on things I am more certain to find interesting - a bit more restraint will be involved.

I'm going to be more careful to click on things

So you are adapting to this state of horribleness by determining for every link if it's clickbait or not. I wish that wouldn't be necessary.
