What kind of "clickbait" headlines do you find difficult to resist, even when you KNOW they are "clickbait?"

.
For me, anything that mentions NBA player trades (or trade rumors) is hard to resist, even though I follow NBA news closely enough to know such links are 99.99% bogus.

Also, anything with pictures of actress Lynda Carter (the original Wonder Woman)...

    I am often attracted to various 'Trump needs contributions'  clickbait. However, I never contribute anything.  He is a billionaire and I am too tight and have a mortgage!  This post was edited by B.H.Wilson at January 1, 2020 8:09 AM MST

    That's...intriguing. What do you hope to see or learn when you click on the Trumpian clickbait?

    I would like to know why he is looking for money. He says it is to top the Democratic party who are trying to out do the Republican party.

    "I would like to know why he is looking for money."

    That is something we all want to know.
    I doubt it's for his campaign and more about lining his coffers

    I didn't know there were any other NBA fans on Answer Mug! 

    I'm a sucker for anything to do with animals. And Google knows it all too well! 

    Happy New Year!

    Hard to say because I try very hard not to so that.  I find that on Yahoo if the headline is sponsored, it's clickbait and I avoid it.  Happy New Year, BH.

    Hey, whatever floats your boat.

    You've got your tildes, I've got my Lynda Carter celebrity crush. We're all human (or cockatoos)...
