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”....

I used the title from the Twitter video, rather than invent my own title. Because it used the classic “But Then This Happened,” I wanted FReepers to know that the link would not take them to a site where they had to click page after page and see scores of ads. You were just taken to the video.

Sorry to all that the thread was hijacked with the clickbait issue instead of comments on the video itself.
