30 Times ‘Stop Clickbait’ Hilariously Summarized Clickbait Articles And Saved You A Click (New Pics)
Ugh, clickbait. If there’s one thing we hate about the internet, it’s how some people trick us into clicking on links with ambiguous headlines. “You won’t believe how amazing this thing is (and it’s so awesome it’ll blow your mind)!” No. Just tell us what the article’s about!
Fortunately, the Stop Clickbait team is here to help. They are the superheroes that we need (but don’t deserve)! Founded in 2016 by Daniel Tuttle, the main mission of this project is to eradicate clickbait by spoiling it with a few words.
The Stop Clickbait team reads through clickbaity articles and posts a summary for them, so we don’t have to waste our valuable time looking for needles (answers) in haystacks (padded articles with little substance).
"Since last year, we’ve begun to send potatoes to some of clickbait’s worst offenders," the Stop Clickbait team told Bored Panda. "People can now go to our website and select a clickbaiter they want to send a potato to in the mail. We’ll then write their name on the potato, take a picture of it, and then send the person its tracking number. We’ve already gotten some returned back to us so I hope they’re getting just as frustrated as we are reading their clickbait articles!" Read on for the rest of the interview!

The rest of the world should follow suit, and with cats too.
I don’t think we will ever afford to buy a house. With the high cost of living and renting how the hell can we save $30,000+ deposit just to get approved for a loan.
Its a hole created by Big Brother who is watching you since 1984.
... and don't trust essential oils no matter how often your neighborhood Karen tries to convince you.
So they can then whine about how everyone hates on them even though they think Trump is doing a fantastic job, and blame the liberals for everything per usual.

wtf is "ultra liberal vegan"? are there also moderate liberal vegans?
Had a guy come to my work with a Trump 2020 hat on, he legitimately seemed to think that someone was going to start something with him. You could see it, the kind of puffed up walk people do to show they're not intimidated by you- but once he realized that nobody was going to sat a freaking word he sunk into a slouched posture and honestly looked disappointed. I don't get what he expected honestly- if you've bought in enough that you're wearing the hat nobody wants to debate with you or try and change your mind. Mainly because we know that's not going to happen. Antagonizing people isn't a good way to spend time. That and I hate hats, stickers,etc that are specific to one election. They're good for a year. Waste of money.
"Mainly because we know that's not going to happen." Please keep emotional political opinions to youself.

I think Larry David did it in an episode of Curb your enthusiasm
Says Mr. Keep Your Emotional Political Opinions To Yourself.

Wait, I'm not quite sure how this works. Do you get out of your running car to check the tire and someone jumps in and drives off? maybe? IDK
STOP THROWING CIGARETTE BUTTS ON THE GROUND PEOPLE!! They fray when they get wet, which ducks and geese eat thinking they're bread. It clogs the animals intestines and the poor bird eventually dies a slow death from starvation. Stop killing all the ducks and geese!
I just don’t understand why women’s nipples are so offensive, there is no logic in it.
Oh, so I must be one of the most honest people on earth! §$*#&!!!
Too bad pharmaceutical companies and the government have strongly focussed on anti weed campaigns for decades that there is still a lot of taboo and misinformation about the subject.
Blame the parents for their stupidity. Some people do not even consider the child before naming them.
Why would someone declaw a cat, how about we rip the fingernails off the culprits.
That is pretty specific, how did they get such an accurate number?
That can actually be extremely dangerous, it can lead to water intoxication.
Oh course he's a narcissist. I wonder what this article was going for?
YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOWER EVERYDAY. In fact, it's way better for you not to, unless you work a job that leaves you filthy. Even just water strips a lot of natural grease from your skin, which you need to stop it from drying out, never mind the body wash most people insist on using. You can wash your pits, privates and feet everyday without having a full body shower every single day.
Look for pools of water too. If you can get in water over your head, they will back off and go home.
Had to look up what this zombie deer thing was. It is a prions disease similar to mad cows disease.
Hmmm, I actually question this because prion diseases can cause erratic and violent behaviour. since zombie deer is a prions disease what makes them so sure that deers won’t attack humans or other animals. My poppa ended up in a mental institution because he got violent and erratic from a genetic form of prions disease (Gerstmann Straussler Sheinker syndrome) and my Aunty was literally ripping at her skin when she had it.
I should change my wallpaper then... maybe it's okay for me to put a fictional character on there?
Zenni Optical - REALLY inexpensive glasses, with a great return policy.
Not true - irritated fellow passengers may thump you for being annoying.
No, but you can hear the sound of Tony Stark building that franchise in a cave :D
That’s awful, I hope the pets get taken from them and given better loving homes.
Fighting clickbait with clickbait? Isn't BP all about clickbait :p

I'm trying to think of a witty comment to get likes... Just pretend there is one |()|
Wonderful initiative and much needed. Just a word about journalists: we don't always write our own headlines. Editors do.
They actually named Bored Panda as one of the runner ups in the 2018 worst clickbaiters awards!
When you click on the links to the stop click bait website it takes you to a WordPress website in Chinese with with a photo of soccer players in an ad for some sports app but then the articles scrolling down the page are about different unrelated topics(didn't read through).
Is it ironic how much I saw the clickbait during this article about “doctors say throw away this vegetable” and waited for an answer?
BP doesn't really fall into the clickbait category simple because they don't force you to click on an endless number of "NEXT" buttons to read something that would take a single page at most. I can take a 30 item list when it's on 1 or 2 pages, it's those damn tiny sentence per page sites that get paid per click from advertisers, so they force you to click 100 times to read a pile of useless c**p, just to get to that one small nugget of info you came for.
Most clickbait is either REALLY obvious, or obviously stupid. Or, it is completely unimportant. And, if it is potentially truly earth-shattering, I will likely hear about it somewhere reliable rather than some random website that I've never heard of or don't have any interest in visiting...
Oh the irony of bored panda doing a piece about clickbait. Take's one to know one.
Because BP say in the title exactly what the article is about and we don't have to click 37 time to see it 👍
