Parsnip Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Louise. I'd pay that $1 if they named that snake Louise and then let me have ten minutes in a room with it armed with shovel and a blow torch. Pure therapy. Oh wait, it says "ex"? In that case, Kelly. Oh Kelly eat my shovel you venomous bitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definition of clickbait : something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest Dictionaries > Google. The method with and context in which we use many English words is determined by the "especially when..." clarifications in their definitions. That being said, you are technically correct. AND I would say that this link is of dubious interest ? but it's clear what it's going to be about before you click on it, so I don't think the term clickbait is accurate.

Click bait is to encourage visitors to click through using teasing or misleading headlines/links. Therefore this is not click bait. And no, all links by definition are not click bait, a bottle of Milk says Milk on the front because that’s what it contains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does exist, also the ones that are factually true. Unfortunatly the misleading ones are more prevelant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can have factually true click bait such as “Is Andy King cup tied, we have the answer...” On clicking you will get the answer, but you’ve been baited in. Again this topic is not an example of that. I must say I was pleasantly surprised that your post wasn’t the usual “can’t really answer without getting political” response which I expected when notified.

Well I have just searched 'political' went back as far as August, as that was when the new guidelines came in, and I have used it once since 14 August 2017, and found that is as far back as I can go back. Politics - 0 Government - 2 (refering to drones and car safety) Labour - 0 Tories - 0 Therefore your facts are completly wrong, you either have confused me with another poster, or you are making it up.

I'm busy trying to fix a bug with the forum, as I said I remember it being used more than once, you claimed this was false and I was being personal. I found then two which is more than once and trying to return to fix this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
