I mean come on...how tough is it to type out a clue to what the thread might be about?

"Can someone please help???"

"Please help me decide!!!"

"Is this the one?"

I thought WUS had the market cornered for this crap.

 

Have to agree... some are even more egregious than others even going so far as to put “clickbait” in the title!!!

“Fed slashing mortgage rates!”

 

PS: a close second in terms of clickbate-like irritation is when members only vaguely suggest their wives are in adult films, but leave us to go do all the google searching

 

If they would know what to write in the title (model and reference) they won’t not need to open the thread in the first place

 

48k NOS Seiko!!!!

 

I would LIKE this post but I am afraid of being passively aggressive towards janice&fred.

 

The good thing is that you don’t have to read them all...

/ignore = more time for others threads

 

You should have titled this thread: "Top 5 Problems With Clickbait Titles. Number 4 Will Surprise You"

 

Yep clickbait title and then they wonder why the responses to the thread are abrupt, terse and irritable

 

Speaking of clickbait, this "tire" ad actually appeared in my facebook feed a year ago, when I was car-shopping on the web.

 

Idk looks over inflated.

 

Or "These 10 click-bait threads from 2015 will shock you."

 

You sure those aren't just Run-Flats?

 

“And not only did I keep a copy, I know right where to find it”

 

OK, that's funny.

 

"Remember newbie posts from December 2020? Your jaw will drop when you see what they look like in January 2021."

 

Funny, the biggest click-bait titles for me are “admin-please delete this thread”

 

Your jaw will drop indeed...I remember my first post here being the classic newb asking what cheap Omega can he get..... The irony of it is I remember Fred answering... Times surely were different

 

These are the opposite of clickbait and are unopened for ethical reasons. What’s the opposite of clickbait, dumbchum?
