what’s your fav clickbait mine is when articles go “NEW (upcoming blockbuster) RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED” and then spend the entire article summarizing the trailer, offering zero release dates
i remember having a clickbait headline to the tune of "EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE NEXT FFXIV EXPANSION" shoved into my mobile Chrome feed and heaven help me i clicked it against my better judgment
the fact that it was just "WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE NEXT EXPANSION BUT HERE'S EVERYTHING THAT WAS IN THE LAST EXPANSION WHICH SHOULD GIVE YOU A GOOD IDEA WHAT'S COMING" was bad enough
but what pushed it over the line into making me want to see the entire institution of clickbait headlines/articles burned to the ground was how confidently it asserted that the title of the NEXT EXPANSION PACK would be, brace for it, "NEXTPACK"
