Clickbait is just 100x more effective, unfortunately. Anybody not doing it is throwing money away.

Back in the day you paid for newspapers and they were already paid for by the time they were written and reached your lawn so there was no need.

Today the only way to make money is to dangle a carrot and get a click to drive advertising revenue.
