Clickbait doesn't have to attract people for money purposes. You wanted people to click this topic and check it out, so you changed the title around to something more racy that has nothing do with the actual story at hand. Now are you trying to make money for The Washington Post? If not, this is clickbait for a non-monetary purpose.

Yeah? You don't post links so that people can check them out?

My title is more factual than the original one, how can you say that it's got nothing to do with the story?

    If not, this is clickbait for a non-monetary purpose.

I posted the link to wikipedia because it's obvious from reading its description that what I did can't be described as clickbait. You guys keep using words without knowing what they mean, shame on you.
