Oh how I am in your boat, buddy. The more clickbaity, the less value I know I’m getting.
A good article shouldn’t need to have an “ending” that can be “spoiled”.
A good article should be interesting to read because of its content, and to find out more “behind” whatever conclusion there might be.
A headline like “How we now understand humans are actually blobs of soft fungus” might pique my interest. You have the conclusion right there, but why?
You’ll never guess how much putting “you’ll never guess” into your title makes me avoid clicking your article.

Normally - yes, but in this case it reads as “you can guess exactly how it went”
But the article STILL won’t receive any clicks.

Can’t say it’s not accurate though. I never did guess how it went.
It’s either good or bad… I’ll go for good this time.
Fuck, now I have to read the article.
Edit: damn, it went bad
