If you don't know what clickbait is by now... well, here it is: Clickbait: content that is labelled with an extremely exciting/sensational title but with content nothing close to it. Point is, you click on it and: 1. The person who posted the clickbait gets a view; 2. The website who made it gets ad money; 3. You get shown a scam. The point of clickbait is to entice you to click on something. Once you've clicked, the baiter gets some kind of benefit while you get disappointed.
