Ahhh, Clickbait!
You know, those ‘eye catching’ headlines that you see on all sorts websites around the place that tempt you to waste way more time than you normally do already.
Clickbait usually starts with phrases ‘you won’t believe’, ‘7 shocking facts’, or ‘find out why’ and end with ‘blow your mind’.
The aim is the arouse your curiosity so that you click on on the headline to view some content that you already new the answer too…
You know how there stuff you see on television that’s so bad that is actually good? Well sometimes, clickbait doesn’t even reach these heights.
And the travel content that’s out there promoted by all sorts of corporations suffers the same fate.
There’s usually the cliched dream travel destinations such as tropical beaches that entice you to move your mouse to click on them to find out more!
So to pay tribute to this form of English bastardisation, I’ve created my own list of clickbait headlines for my own silly blog posts.
