      I think they are. I checked the comments before clicking on the article and that comment prevented me from rewarding that clickbaiter.

        The poster is just submitting the article as titled, and the scientists are just making cool observations not bothering anyone. The fault for clickbait lies solely with the journalists/editors. I wish instead of continuing the practice from that other site of “submission title must match article title”, we normalize the culture of writing our own plain language de-clickbait-ified titles, the way HackerNews does it.
