Steeznson creates a new universe, waits 13.7 billion years for it to create the internet, then destroys it because of a hyperbolic headline!!!

Sensational language isn't clickbait. Saying "you won't believe what happens next!" is clickbait.

[-] steeznson@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Implicitly the title implying "click to see how nuclear he goes"

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Yup. Click bait to me means anything a title that over-exaggerates the content of the article to get people to click on it.

That's exactly what sensational language is... Language meant to excite and entice the reader without respect to the accuracy of what's being reported. It only became clickbait when we started clicking on things to read them instead of picking up a newspaper.
