Clickbait is an evil, and disgusting thing, and I for one really really hate it!
In my old age, I've become so jaded from this type of marketing, that I hardly click on anything anymore.
I also have premium accounts for everything, so that I do not have to watch, or interact with adverts at anytime.
I have even stopped visiting websites for the most part, because every-time I do visit one, I am immediately bombarded with ads or pop ups, and in most cases... my fucking virus protection program has even warned me that they blocked something!
Fucking ridiculous in my opinion, which brings me to the point of this here article.
Most clickbaity shit is designed to get views, which usual translates into some type of monetary gain, but here on Steemit, if you get duped into clicking on something, and it was just shit content specifically designed to get you to click on it, you could flag them, and they will actually lose shit instead of gain!
Where else on the internet are you going to find such an anti-spammy place huh?
Then you have folks like Bernie, who go around and actively clean up the garbage and reward pool rapists, which makes the platform even better.
Oh, and one last thing before I go, if you have one of those up-vote bots, and your bot is up-voting whoever comments on your posts, you're the reason why those spammers are making money here on Steemit.
You know the ones, the: "Great post, I up-voted." types.

So if you're providing an income for these third worlders, you're part of the fucking problem here on Steemit... so cut that shit out!
