is it just us or does anyone else actively avoid clicking on articles or videos with titles like "10 best whatevers that will make you rich" or "top ten ways to do a thing"?

@Felthry I just avoid clickbait in general
@KinkyTurtle @Kilroy apparently some of those fake things are actively harmful though, like putting food in bleach to turn it white

@KinkyTurtle @Kilroy which actually works for some foods but also would be horribly toxic if you actually ate it

@Felthry @KinkyTurtle Oh heck yeah. What's scary about some of those is they can be geared towards kids who absolutely do not know better and can cause themselves extremely serious harm and/or death D:
@Felthry @Kilroy
Things started to go downhill when they realized they didn't even have to put in real things. They could make up outrageous fake nonsense like washing a shirt in apple juice or whatever, and people would pass it around anyway saying "hey Fred, look how stupid this article/video is!"
