"Click-bait.
Readers hate it, but they often have no clue what it actually means. They hate it so, so much but they click anyways."
Did Forbes seriously just post an entire article defending their use of click bait headlines while simultaneously denying that they use click bait headlines, based on their dubious, arbitrary, and mostly incorrect definition of click bait headlines? Really? Well, this has been a long time in coming, but it looks like it's finally time for me to drop Forbes Games from my news feed. Shame, that. And... done.
