I really hate these types of headlines:

"You'll never believe what happens next..."

"Watch Beyonce's hilarious response..."

Such crap used to be limited to publications like People Magazine, aimed at the low intelligence crowd.

Now it's appearing everywhere...even in the MSM. What has happened to America?

I admit that - back when this phenomenon first began appearing - it took me two or three clicks to learn better than to try to find anything of value in all such articles containing obvious "come-ons" in the title.

Now I'm grateful, since they immediately inform me that it's not worth the bother.

Thanks for bringing it up..Example... Alan West never post a single tweet or FB post that is not a zero information headline like those you cite and then a click bait to his website. After falling for the first few, I never click anymore..Too bad coz Alan West is a man I respect..but he probably hired some internet consultants to run his web "business" and ridiculousness has sprang forth.

Also add the following to your list.. Anything with "weird trick" or "odd tip" in the headline.

You obviously missed the last season of South Park.
