I fucking hate this bullshit. It's tailor-made to be misunderstood and make you click but if you do "misunderstand" because you don't follow certain things 24/7 to be able to put their cryptic word diarrhoea into context, well, that's on you then, they did not lie, everything they said is TECHNICALLY true.

I blame the people publishing the articles but I also understand they're playing in a rigged game. The platforms (facebook, reddit etc) that they depend on to get views REQUIRE headlines to be insane clickbait.

If I were the boss of Lemmy I would mandate that all communities require de-clickbaited headlines but what can you do.
