Anecdotally I agree with you but doesn't this blog post suggest the reverse - click bait does well? The model was trained on a fairly comprehensive set of HN titles and it scores click-bait-y titles with a high "Good" probability. e.g. `"Beware! Uninstalling this PC game deletes your hard drive"` with a `62.0% Good prob`. There's a ton of hidden complexity involved here but if click-bait was generally downvoted by the HN community, we should expect a low "Good" score, right?
