Do you click on clickbait?

I try not to, no matter how interesting the headline. Once in a while I might but then I feel guilty about it. Like I've sold part of my soul or something. Anyone else?

Sometimes I can't help myself.

Sometimes I just really, really, want to be amazed at what happens next.

I used to, but always got annoyed then so I don't anymore. Instead, if I'm interested I click on the comments link on FB and there's usually someone saying what it's all about. Clickbait headlines should not be rewarded/encouraged and I think by actually clicking on them you are doing just that.

For me, it really depends how it's presented. I'm a simple man - I see boobs, I click.

But then those boobs never surface

They get nothing from me, with my ad blocking ways. So joke's on them really.

What's clickbait? Rubbishy articles, or virusy?

I keep seeing links that say "should this military grade flashlight be banned?". I don't usually click on links like that but I can't help but wonder what a flashlight could possibly do that would warrant it being banned.
