You open the Lemmy post and it’s just a link to another thing. So I still don’t know what the clickbait refers to. I have to open two layers to figure that out.
I didn’t open the link. I opened the Lemmy post to figure out what the clickbait was about, but since it didn’t illuminate that I didn’t click on the link.
I think that’s reasonable to do, especially inside of Lemmy.
Maybe click on the link next time and avoid this altogether? I’m using Connect and had no issues “figuring out” the content of the post. Clickbait would also imply that the content behind the title is dubious but I’ve never once experienced that with Pluralistic. I recommend giving them a read whenever you see a link to their site with a title that draws your attention. They’re a high-quality source in my opinion.
Clickbait is bad.
This is double clickbait.

You didn’t scroll at all, did you? Pluralistic is a well known blog. The content is just past the links at the top.

If the HTML anchor had been included (#the-point-of-a-system-is-what-it-does), it might have been a bit more clear.
