I think that we are all a bit smarter than that definition. The following reference familiarizes us with an adage many of us know, attributed to US Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart.
"Nico Jacobellis, manager of the Heights Art Theatre in the
Coventry Village neighborhood of
Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was charged with two counts of possessing and exhibiting an obscene film"[/size][/font]
Stewart opined "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But
I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."[/size][/font]

Although all links are clickbait, some clickbait is more harmful than others. Some links take us to sites not promised by the lead-in. Other links download files to our device. Still others take us to an endless parade of slides that pretend to give us what we thought we were getting, but never do.
I promise that all links posted by me have taken you to promised sites, not compelled you to download a file, nor taken you to an endless parade of anything other than words.
As such, I discourage all members of GCA from posting any links to anything on the internet, lest it be deemed
clickbait by our voluntary force of internet police.
