Is "goes nuclear" the new "slams"? I hate these clickbait headlines so much it's unreal
steezson UNMAKES REALITY over hyperbolic headlines!!! (your kids aren't safe from steezson!)
Steeznson creates a new universe, waits 13.7 billion years for it to create the internet, then destroys it because of a hyperbolic headline!!!
GTAV actor GOES NUCLEAR and drops a TSAR BOMBA on AI using FACTS and LOGIC
You just literally went nuclear on those headlines.
Sensational language isn't clickbait. Saying "you won't believe what happens next!" is clickbait.
Implicitly the title implying "click to see how nuclear he goes"
Yup. Click bait to me means anything a title that over-exaggerates the content of the article to get people to click on it.
That's exactly what sensational language is... Language meant to excite and entice the reader without respect to the accuracy of what's being reported. It only became clickbait when we started clicking on things to read them instead of picking up a newspaper.
