The headline 'couples meet xxx ...' is absolutely not 'clickbait' moreover, the notion that 'bar dating' and 'online dating' might have some similarities is reasonable, but beyond requirement to include in a report a few sentences long especially given that it's nuanced.

Since most, even 'respected' journalism is a bit clickbaity, this is well within normative editorialization.

Hence the likely bigotry on the part of people ventilating about the origin of the data.
