everything is clickbait if every headline was entirely milquetoast, nobody would know where to click anymore.

reuters.com: "Adani abandons $2.5 billion share sale in big blow to Indian tycoon"

Do you think it is necessary to mention "2.5 billion" "abandon" and "big blow" "tycoon". It is all clickbait everything. Without a good CTR, nothing gets read.
