Yes, yes it is.

It isn't a magic trick where revealing it would break it.

So an example of click bait is a click bait.



Our minds have been drilled with automatically clicking links, cause our brain feels happy whenever a whole new page opens with just a click, also we are a curious bunch....the more we are told it is dangerous the more we want to try or see what it is.





Ps: but have I clicked it ?....no

 

Fumu~
Your loss

 

I've eaten your baits before so I know where it leads.....

I'm not really into those kinds of novels...so no loss.

In my opinion, it depends on intent of the person giving the example. If they have nothing to gain from it and uses it solely for the purpose of an example then I think it's not.

Yep! No matter what form you present it it's still obviously clickbait!

I am ashamed to admit that it did
