Examples of clickbait in a Sentence

1. Dan Gainor:

   It's almost predictable that some idiot online will write an outlandish story connecting Trump to the villain du jour, all designed to generate web traffic and ad dollars. We worked through all the major historical villains the media could tie the president to -- Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini. They called him a strongman, a dictator and worse. Now it's Manson, Weinstein and probably Mugabe, the media are running out of hyperbole. It's all embarrassingly stupid. No one gets held to account for it. And the cycle begins again with the next clickbait article.

2. Campbell Brown:

   There's been a real effort to down-rank clickbait sensationalism.

   Creating a positive environment on our services is not just better for people, it's also better for our business. That's why we've designed our algorithms to limit clickbait and sensationalist content, which turns people away, it's also why we've done more than any other internet company to combat harmful content, including limiting content that sought to delegitimize the outcome of the election, both before and after January 6. We banned hundreds of militarized social movements, took down tens of thousands of QAnon pages, groups, and accounts from our apps, removed the original #StopTheSteal Group, labeled candidates' posts that sought to prematurely declare victory, and suspended former President Trump from our platform for at least two years.

5. Rik Mehta:

   CNN talking points used to promote clickbait COVID stories based on fear-mongering have never held water to actual epidemiological data and medical science, unfortunately for CNN, a majority of Americans recognized this fact before them, as America literally continues to witness high breakthrough cases in vaccinated individuals.
