9. Watch for Click-Bait
The Oxford English Dictionary defines clickbait thusly:
“(On the Internet) [Ed: Is that parenthetical necessary?] content whose main purpose is to attract attention and encourage visitors to click on a link to a particular web page.”
More colloquially, Josh Benton of Harvard’s Neiman Journalism Lab defined clickbait on Twitter (on the Internet) as
"noun: things I don't like on the Internet.”
Ben Smith , editor of Buzzfeed, noted that the term
“is sometimes thrown our direction to characterize entertaining web-culture content that the author doesn’t like. That is something different, a matter of taste.”
