    Well, I’m doing my part against them by refusing to click on any bait headlines, but I fear it’s a lost cause anyway.

      I try and just ignore it and read what I’m interested in regardless. From what I hear about the YouTube algo, for instance, clickbait titles are necessity more than a choice for YouTubers, if they don’t use them they get next to no engagement early and the algo buries that video which can impact the channel in general.
