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.

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 😉

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.

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