Clickbait is awesome and I think I can convince you to agree. First, we couldn't experience anything if we didn't have our attention grabbed. So at the heart of human experience, at the heart of existence is attention getting, and there's nothing wrong with that.

And all clickbait is, is doing that on the internet on purpose. So why do we almost universally feel like it's cheating us? Because clickbait has fallen prey to the toupée fallacy. It goes like this.

All the toupées I've ever seen are bad. Therefore, all toupées are bad. No, you're not taking the good toupée into account because you wouldn't notice them. You're not supposed to. And it's exactly the same thing with clickbait.

If you click and you don't get what you want, you blame clickbait, but if you click and you do get what you want, if you do get what you came for, you don't notice, you don't think about how the was crafted to get you to click because they crafted it well and you're enjoying yourself. So in your memory, clickbait is bad, but in your actual experience, unless you hate the internet, you live for it. All right, come along for more clickbait. You won't believe what happens next.
