Yes, that's the faustian bargain we've got when we decided journalism should be free on the internet.

It is annoying, regrettable, but is just the way things are today: clickbait or die.

I've learned this lesson the hard way, but it's not a minor detail we can skip over. The article is shaped to ensure that we'll start yelling at each other if anyone tries to challenge the argument or question its implications. You can't bootstrap a respectful discussion on top of an article trying to get you riled up - it just doesn't work.

Clickbait, subscriptions or die. The FT are doing pretty well for themselves, and they definitely don't provide clickbait.
