What is the definition of clickbait here?

"Radical Statements about the Mobile Web" does, indeed, contain some radical statements about the mobile web, from a guy who works for Mozilla.

"Handling five billion sessions a day in real time" is... about handling five billion sessions a day in real time.

"The Unlikely AirBnB hosts of Japan" is... well, you get the idea.

Clickbait is when you give a story a title the actual content does not live up to. "You won't believe", when you absolutely will. "You'll be amazed" when you won't. The stories he's complaining about here are... just stories with titles.
