I never use clickbait. That’s probably why I rarely catch any clicks.

I kind of like the clickbait roundup. It reminds me of the “This week in dubious tabloids” posts that BB used to have.

Sort of scratches an idle itch: low level curiosity as to the answer, but not invested enough to actually find out.
