I don’t think most of us mind clickbait so much as clickbait-and-switch, where the content is not what the headline promises. In this case, the ‘bait’ headline was more or less justified so I don’t mind.
I dislike clickbait when it’s misleading, or takes a really long time to get to the point (esp if it’s then underwhelming). I was fine with this post on that front.
The clickbait title is misleading, but I forgive this one because I do end up finding it interesting, and it is short. In general I mostly don’t try to punish things if it end up to be good/correct.
Yeah, you kind of have to expect from the beginning that there’s some trick, since taken literally the title can’t actually be true. So I think it’s fine
Sorta surprised that this got so many up votes with the clickbaity title, which goes against norms around here
Otherwise th content seems good

Clickbait still works here, just with a different language.
