CLICK-BAIT Banned Forever!

What is it about this title that captures one's attention? Could it be the unrealistic possibility that something that amazing may actually happen?

The reality is that Click-Bait will never be banned forever, in fact one could forecast that the mount out there now, is one the beginning, it is an effective tool as well as a means to which some make their living off of, there will be more. I personally forecast the internet looking like a bar street in Tokyo at 1-2am, neon lights glowing hard into the the twilight and never really turning off, just dimming as they blend with the daytime skies. It will become a point of which, even though the internet is free, it will be paid for by the amount of Ads that people need to click through to use it. technically Youtube is already following this, as well as facebook.

Click-bait though, for those who don't know, is generally something appealing or thought provoking headline that lures folks into clicking it and checking it out to build hits.

Sometimes, the click-bait is extremely harmful, and other times, it may ACTUALLY take you to something relatively interesting-never REALLY interesting but every so often I have found myself on a an article page and thinking, "hmm didn't plan on reading about "Graham the car-proof man", but its okay-interesting thought.

So, by no means in creating click-bait should you be trying to harm or violate a user's online capabilities. As a blogger, vlogger, caster, its a matter of giving an opportunity for a potential audience member to find your channel and improve the quality of their online viewing, reading or listening.

To create your own click-bait is actually kind of fun and makes it worth seeing where this skill can actually be applied in our daily lives. Creating click-bait begins with an interesting/shocking headline: "I lost 60lbs in 6 days"; "The Joker is actually based off a Real-Serial Killer"; "Your Comic Book Collection is worth Millions".

So why is it that these headlines are not just "fake news", well when you get to the article you see that,
-"I lost 60lbs in 6 days, and get extremely sick-almost died..."
-"The Joker is actually based off a Real-Serial Killer, is not true, but believed because..."
-"Your comic book collection is worth millions if it includes..."

These are the more "I'm not fake news click-bait" examples, there is also click-bait that is just plainly "fake news", and those are things like the following:
-"Canada is going to war with China"
-"The US is considering pulling out of the Middle East"
-"Michael Jackson's ghost has come back to apologize for molesting children"

These forms of "Click-Bait" are the same kinds that sme older "Newspaper Generations" may remember as "The World Weekly News" or "The Enquirer".
