@Felthry I just avoid clickbait in general
@Kilroy yeah that's basically what i'm asking
i don't get how that kind of stuff is apparently so successful though
because it's pretty obviously like... overblown and fake?

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!"
@KinkyTurtle @Kilroy apparently some of those fake things are actively harmful though, like putting food in bleach to turn it white

@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:
