My point is the title in journalism went from a summary of the story to a confusing false statement that might give you a hint of what the story is about.

This is what we get when nobody wants to pay for news anymore. The fact that news media had to turn to ad-funded models is the fault of everybody who refuses to pay for their news

The main issue here isn’t ads. The issue is straight up false titles.

I understand if they opted for vague summary. But false statement is where i draw the line.

And the reason why they have to resort to clickbait titles is to get people on their site for ad views

Clickbait and false statements are two different things.

If I write a title saying “Joe Biden resigned” and then talk about how most Americans wants Joe to resign this is considered a false statement.

But if I write “Americans wants only one thing” then this is a clickbait.
