Actually this could work. Newspapers used to hire editorialists known as “sob sisters”, who only kept their jobs by writing editorials so obnoxious that the paper would get hate mail. It was assumed that people that upset would continue to buy the paper to continue to be upset.
No hate mail and they were immediately fired. Some of them went to the length of sending themselves hate mail.
But most objective news is rather boring, so it should be under different rules. That is why these people were called “reporter”, and opinion people were called “journalists”.
American needs tens of thousands of good reporters. Media needs to get rid of so many opinion writers masking as reporters if America can ever truly have a decent, free press again.

I bet the staff starts writing a lot of stories about sex, drugs and rock and roll, and not in the particular order

The story can be great, but it’s the headline that draws the clicks. Bad or uninteresting or uninspiring headline = fewer clicks.
