MODERATORS
Why the clickbait? Just put why they're leaving the profession in the title and save us a click
Because news sites make money from clicks. They have negative incentive to save you the click, because the lower traffic would hurt their profits. Their entire business model is focused on getting clicks.
Yes exactly, thus I'm asking op to put the answer in the title and defeat their business model of trying to feed us ads
ABC.net.au has no ads though?
ABC is a public broadcaster. They don't rely on ads. This should incentivize not using click bait headlines, yet here we are.
