To me, clickbait is the teaser to take you to a site that has you going from page to page to page and scores of ads to get to the conclusion of the story. This is just one click to see the video.

If they don’t have the intelligence to go look for themselves, that’s their problem. And besides, you’re obviously right. It isn’t click bait.

There were other great videos too. I watched several great shorts. Very uplifting...

Thanks again.

clickbait is the teaser to take you to a site

The above excerpt from your post is the complete definition of 'clickbait'.

A provocative thread title, coupled with an excerpt (or description) which leaves out most of the who, what, when, where, why, and how - is the essence of clickbait.

and I was right... Clickbait is getting someone to click on a single link. That’s why its not called clicksbait.... You gave a title with no answer... The way to get the answer is to click...... This is clickbait... Your headline is 100% pure clickbait.

Non-clickbait headline would read “He used to think Trump was a racist, but he heard him speak for the first time and now doesn’t think he is”....
