I'm not quite clear on the meaning of "clickbaits" @OP. Mind explaining?

XketchDesigns:


topics structured in a way to make you click them even when the content is not totally correlating with the topic title on FP

Oh! "A man slept with his wife; and this happened.."

Can you list some of the click bait topics in question please? Thanks.

Seun, dats true. Your mods should stop compelling us to click a thread.

"a man slapped his wife and this happened" what's dat? Why not tell us what happened? Mods are the ones changing the topic on front page. The actual thread reads "a man slapped his wife and she packed out of the house". Moderators, review your modus operandi.

I totally agree seun! I check Alexis ranking this month Linda ikeji is just 20000 visitor away from you
ure loosing member bcuz of the kinda click bait ure mods re putting up and also #bringbackournairaland

and yea tell lala to stop that snake ishhh jor its getting boring

Yea click baits are vexing seriously
Whenever I see something like "she slept with her husband's father and he did this" on fb, it freaks me out

I've now noticed this on NL
It might be bringing traffic but that's too childish for this forum

Seun pls stop this, tell ur mods

And to lalasticlala.. I still like ur snake threads jor, no mind dem

The trend is reflective of the majority of nairaland users whose ages fall below 22years. Most businesses cater to their major consumers thus we see it manifest here. I don't like the trend also but decided to drop my opinion on the matter.

In my opinion click baits can be used but not on less serious topics.

When will people stop comparing Nairaland to LIB??
Nairaland is much much more interesting than any blog anywhere. The beauty of this site is that there are many sections to visit and several crazy comments to keep you busy!
Personally, I dislike the clickbait topics and I rarely ever clicked them. But that should be it, I think Seun has taken note and the mods have been corrected. Let's move on already.

Btw, I love your 'Snake' threads, Lalasticlala.

Those that witnessed how Nairaland used to be won't make such comments as @AwesomeDuru made above
I actually have a conspiracy theory for what's happening to NL

Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you. I share same opinion. The NL age demographic has shifted and NL is adjusting to it.

For any smart human, he/she should know topics are meant to be catchy....so I don't understand your clickbait shii, who is begging you to click?
