Yes, they will do ANYTHING to get you to click on articles (from my knowledge, they get paid the more people visit their articles? Correct me if im wrong). But they will put confusing terms and phrases, words used to grab attention, misleading statements. I’ve even seen a story talking about something really bad happening in the title but it was split into like 15+ articles (I dont even think im exaggerating) that led to the conclusion being, the title never happened.
