Do you think "clickbait" is "fake news"?

[wmehsa]

for example,

[October808]

I watched an AskMojo clickbait video that had a thumbnail of Deadpool's Mr Rodger scene promoting the top 10 best homages in movies to other movies. It was only in the end credit promoting their channel. It wasn't even an honorable mention. Naturally they got flak for that. Idjits.

Yea because according to the photo i will think what happened next is that the lion raped the man. But it turns out to be something silly like the lion shat on him or went to eat a deer

Clickbait is trying to get someone to click on an otherwise boring article, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s false.

[Gsm24diecast]

I do click bait on here sometimes since I do daily car questions, but it’s intended as jokes, like my soccer mom car question... lol

[angryyhedge]

Some of that stuff is legit but most the time it's fake

[bulletbob555]

I don't click it. On my reading apps it will say sponsored Thats a nonstick to me

[opinionated_hoe]

Clickbait is clickbait, fake news is fake news lol

[MrOracle]

It OFTEN is, but sometimes it's just clickbait.

[Creepazoid]

I want a pet lion so bad!

[Shamalien]

[Plitty-Tank]
