I feel like my will is eroded every time I face a clickbaity title. The last time, I read something like, "The rant of the President: I'm angry. What the hell is this?". Why am I so curious to click something like this? I try to curate my feed to prevent clickbaity title to pass through, but some of them pass through, especially those "recommended for me" videos from youtube. Pretty annoyed at the whole thing. If there's an add-on/extension that reword clickbaity title, I'll take those in a heartbeat. 1. Any suggestion? Clearly my strategy is wrong. I use DF youtube in firefox in my desktop. But in my phone, there's nothing like that. 2. How often did you get baited into clicking a clickbait? What's your strategy? 3. "Check THIS out!"
All the major social media companies run psychological experiments on their users and train AI in order to generate the most effective clickbait headlines. Those platforms are nothing more than a tool for conditioning you into reacting in a way that is most convenient for your corporate overlords.
I'm not very resistant, seeing how I clicked on every link in this thread as well as the thread itself
I get baited, start watching at at least 1.5 the speed and if it's shit I'll close the video better the 2nd minute or so. If it's informative, entertaining, etc, I'll probably watch it, unless I really feel it's not worth it at the moment.
