Ads are a shitty part of the internet experience, but what exactly is your point here…?
My point is the title in journalism went from a summary of the story to a confusing false statement that might give you a hint of what the story is about.
In this story the title is clearly saying Voyager has stopped communicating with Earth which is false.
The main issue here isn’t ads. The issue is straight up false titles.
I understand if they opted for vague summary. But false statement is where i draw the line.
Clickbait and false statements are two different things.
If I write a title saying “Joe Biden resigned” and then talk about how most Americans wants Joe to resign this is considered a false statement.
But if I write “Americans wants only one thing” then this is a clickbait.
