Clickbait headlines

I recall years ago a headline of "Lenny Henry in Nightclub Drugs Stabbing Horror".
The story was Lenny Henry went to a nightclub, stayed for a while, left, and later on , someone was stabbed in the same club when a drugs deal went south.
Basically, Lenny henry went out. That's the story.

But we will be OK if the sun turns up 24/7/365.
When I say OK, I mean we'll have 10% of what we need when that happens.

"Every country to withdraw from World Cup"
This showed up on my laptop news feed.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/spor...
Clicking on it (yes, damn it) I realised the article is in fact about all the countries over the years who have withdrawn from it for various reasons and not advising that all countries have in fact pulled out of the 2026 world cup.
I feel sorry for the gutter scum who make their living this way.

Theres actually a reason to them though
Interest in newspapers is dying. People just dont buy them.
So to try and get people to buy them they write exaggerated headlines.
But that doesn't work.
So they write even more ludicrous statements.
But that doesn't work either as its not about newspapers as much as a changing in the way people consume news.
So in desperation they write utter bks. And THEN smooth brain people click it.
So they think "ah ha, that works. Do more of that!"
Cockends!

Ive seen in The Liverpool Echo recently:
"13 pubs in Liverpool to close on Monday"
Yes, they are all owned by the same company, and they decided to hold a staff do, so all their pubs closed on Monday. And where all open again on Tuesday.
Also stuff like "The Chase pulled from ITV schedule".
Yes, its not on tonight as there's a football game on instead.
"Store with 500 shops to close".
Yes, that will be 1 of their 500 then.
The st that they come up with.
