Everybody hates click bait. It's like coming downstairs on Christmas morning to find a hundred awesomely wrapped presents waiting for you, but when you start to open them you realize there's nothing but cat poop inside. No, you won't believe it, and yes, your jaw will drop, but it'll be for all the wrong reasons, and it certainly won't be epic.
Who will save us from these constant disappointments? The people behind Stop Click Bait, that's who. It's a social media network dedicated to the eradication of click bait, and their method is simple. They read crappy click bait articles and summarize them for you so you can spend your time doing something more useful. See for yourself below. You won't believe what you'll find!

Once you read that an "expert" was asked, be sure to move alone quickly. It is even worse with "xyz expert" as in "terrorism expert" or "climate expert". "xyz" can usually be translated to "has no clue at all but a strong opinion at least".
This guy looks like he would need a so called "expert" to tell him that too, with his big goofy looking grin and shirt that looks like a kitchen floor from the 70s.
I love you, stopclickbait. You're doing us all a favor. I'm gonna be a stopclickbaiter too!
As soon as I get a Twitter I will do the same

I don't see why Emma has to be any different from all those other girls that wanted to preserve something that made them feel pretty.

Love this. So many people don't read articles any more, but think they know it all from the headline
So, it's clickbait with the intent to be clickbait?! I need to sit down...
NPR did this years ago for April Fools Day, but the headline was “Why Doesn’t Anyone Read Anymore?” Which was much better.
THIS, was worth it for Jasons reaction! LMAO!!!!

I'm giessing 'Intellectual Takeout' doesn't have many intellectual readers if they think the answer will surprise them
They specifically used the ":" after doctor so it sound like the doctor is asking the question. RIDICULOUS!
Travel through regions w out access to vaccines. You'll meet all kinds of infections you only knew from textbooks.
If the title of the "article" is phrased as a question, chances are the article can be summarised in "no".
I'm confused. So she claimed to be pregnant with quintuplets, he never went with her to have the sonogram done nor saw the picture. Then why is her belly so huge?
Thank you for your service, #stopclickbait although I would still watch this as it sounds really adorable.
"was left to babysit"...well, if he "was left" who recorded the bloody video?
Come on Hans. People don't record things. Cameras do. Hehehe.
Load More Replies...I would definitely watch this - certainly would after reading your description of it....
The term "racist" is so vague anymore though. Someone does something "culturally insensitive" and gets mobbed by people claiming racism. I think it's time people find a more accurate term to accuse with. I always had the understand growing up that racism is hatred of another race for whatever reason it might be. Then again, where I live and grew up is 97% white.
Most racists don't know that that are racist. It's systemic. You don't have to scream that you hate black people to not hold the elevator, or to give the job to someone else based on your preconceived notions. That type of racism is just as harmful as mocking the color of someone's skin.
Load More Replies...And it's been proven over decades, in courts and elsewhere.
Load More Replies...You can't trust the information from the NY Times, as they are most likely biased against Trump because they are far left on the liberal-conservative news scale. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/10/21/lets-rank-the-media-from-liberal-to-conservative-based-on-their-audiences/?utm_term=.21d9661776fa
Uh huh, that's why he received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor along side Rosa Parks.. :-/
Nope. I'm sure he got it because he did something special to warrant a medal. Like Rosa Parks did something special. It doesn't matter if Oskar Schindler was a Nazi, or gave money to Nazis, or even supported the war with his factory. He might have been a cheater on his wife or maybe he hit her (I don't know), but he still saved a lot of people. Not that Trump is Schindler. Getting something for doing something good doesn't mean you're an entirely good person. If a murderer saved a little girl from drowning, he's still a murderer.
Load More Replies...Human-human love is mostly manipulation, human-dog love is mostly friendship

It says he doesn't hesitate... then what's with the Street Car Named desire routine (StellAAAAA) and who took the photo. These are the real questions
Is this the one where the guy runs an ad to find a new home for his girlfriend?
for 180000000 i'd do it. after marriage she can have sexe with as many girl she wants
I think the trick will be to make agree the weeding... I do not doubt your qualities, but if you have a penis that do not seems to be a walkover
Load More Replies...So wait... you want to pay me $180 MILLION.... to marry a lesbian who won't give two shits about a romantic or sexual relationship? Sign me up, I want my f*****g money
I read the anti click bait first and thought to myself "that is one ugly lesbian"
I'm a genderfluid transtrender, and for that sum I would totally identify as whathever is necessary to seal the deal.
Who is Hong Kong Billionaire? I've never heard of him. That's a strange name.
He looks like a fly with those glasses. Funny how you can be filthy rich and still look like pathetic.
I will marry her. Poor girl, her father publicly advertising his daughter like she's for sale. Jerk
Frankly, marriage for the sake of appearances and family honor is a pretty old practice. Being a billionaire, I am sure he would be willing to build my wife and I a duplex-mansion, same address, completely different lives. I am sure we would have to attend a gala or two at some point, but what's wrong with us both wearing tuxedos? For 180mil, I'd figure it out.
Easy solution. Ladies, crossdress until the father dies. Then it's smooth sailing from their.
Water? But what's "magical " or "secret" about water? You don't expect me to lose weight with hard work and common sense, do you?

Why am I not surprised that Faux News would be disseminating click bait?
Why are people trying to make healthy or meatless version of everything? I was offered healthy deep fried pork nuggets. Instead of wheat flour they used peas, instead of pork it was mix of soy and chicken and it wasn't fried but baked.
Cauliflower is great, so is broccoli and brussel sprouts. But then again I grew up eating all of those too. Melted cheese and or bacon works wonders with any of those vegetables if you can't get past the taste.

Pt. 2 Grandma thought folks who worked w their hands were low class. Sorry, Gram, but I respect ALL honest hard work, by hand or mind.
My grandmother called them dungarees. She ironed them for my young father. Only children and "low class" adults wore them.
I also googled it, its fake. We can all stop panicking, we can all go home.
It's called "genetic attraction" - people who are closely related but do not know it, will sometimes feel a close bond or attraction to each other, and perceive it as sexual and/or romantic attraction. It also happens between parents and children, where the child has been given up for adoption, raised with no contact until, they meet later in life. Yes, pretty gross. You're welcome ;)

Poor kid. And many people his age(and older or younger) think they are the most unfortunate people in the world just because they don't get a certain toy or whatever. This boy should be our role model. I wish I could help him!

Being albino usually has other distinguishing features too though, doesn't it? Or is it just albino animals that have red eyes? I tried googling some pictures and a lot of babies you can't really even tell.

Grown ups: When will she be old enough to use her as an excuse for a trip to Disney?
I can't help but judge people having a child together and splitting up then. they should have think better before concieving her. people nowdays rather end relationship than work on it. they need to choose their partner thoroughly. it needs to be someone they are willing to "put up with" for the rest of their lives. the sacred vow has no value for them. yes, marriage is hard, and yes, sometimes you just want to throw a brick at eachother(don't do it), but if you will overcome differenes together, if you make compromise on both sides, a reward is someone who you can rely on, someone to "grow grey" with, someone who knows all your secrets and you know his/hers, someone forgiven and forgiving. life is already difficult. why does people have to make it even more complicated?
Wow they even stole the content from Mark Rober on YouTube for the clickbait!
This will be more important when and if LiFi routers hit the market since they use infrared light instead of radio waves.

And the castles aren't being given away, they're being leased for free and have to be returned in 50 years or something. So Italy is basically trying to get people to renovate their c**p and give it back.

I read this one. An expired EpiPen is better than none at all. Still, call 911.
Safest answer: if you see yours is expired, get a new one. If you're having an acute allergy attack and all you can find is an expired one, use it and hope for the best.
Same goes for most medicines. Though liquid based ones I suspect might be different.

and knives will have warning stickers "Take care, this knife is sharp and may hurt you"
Actually it's the knives that have become dull that are a much bigger problem. People exert extra force to get them to cut, way more likely to slip and cause injury. A very sharp knife will offer virtually no resistance through an avocado, and therefore require very little force, and be much more controlled.
Load More Replies...And one of my favorite poorly translated safety labels: Do not store knives in small children!
And this is what is wrong with people today. If you hold slippery thing in one hand and knife in the other be careful. I saw sticker 'Caution - food may be hot and cause serious injury' on oven. Wake up, start using your brain people.
Learning not to cut toward your self will go a long way toward saving your hands and other body parts.
