And does it work or not?
Tell me. If the answer convinces me, I'll check out the link. If not, I'll scroll on.

Update. I just got a bullying email from another blue group, #MarchOnPac. It asks me "one last time" to click that I stand against Trump. It says "RESPONSE MISSING" twice, both in all-caps, once in boldface and once in blinking white letters inside a big red box. Unsubscribed.
I'm naming names because I want to deter this behavior. I want more effective coalition building -- much more effective coalition building. Maybe we can't recruit every voter appalled by Trump. But we can avoid unforced errors like treating potential allies as flunkies who owe clicks to every self-appointed group.
And I am unsubscribing from it all today. I don’t actually want to be part of an experiment to see what click bait works. Fuck substack.

@foone because they want to maximize #screentime with putposefully degraded search results, #clickbait and #ragebait suggestions.
He may talk rubbish but Trump has an eye for beauty, and that is a breath of fresh air

I occasionally look at a Jenkins article and quickly realise why I have not for quite a long time. I suppose it s akin to getting a booster vaccination. Afetr all this is a Brexit supporting eejit who denies the usefulness of maffematiks.

I just got an email from #BlueAmpAction, one of the many groups that shares my politics, asks for my money, and had (until today) probationary access to my inbox. This one went too far.
"DO YOU APPROVE OF DONALD TRUMP? [Yes/No/Unsure]…If we don’t receive your response, we may have to assume that you support Donald Trump’s anti-democracy actions."
PS: I unsubscribed. Message to BlueAmpAction: Assume what you like. Message to fellow travelers: Don't try to guilt, bully, or insult me. I'll lock you out. That is not how to build a winning coalition. I want to build a winning coalition more than any group using those tactics.

@derStandard Das bedeutet, dass er Borreliose hat. So wie vermutlich sehr viele andere Menschen auch. Aber über die lohnt es sich nicht, zu berichten … #clickbait
Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass Herr Timberlake auch schon mal Durchfall hatte. Darüber sollte auch unbedingt auch gesprochen werden.

"Das sind die Gründe:"
Ist der Grund, warum ich solchen #Clickbait #bullshit nicht mal ansatzweise in Betracht ziehe.
Aber schon spannend, was der #ÖRR so nötig hat.

Danke für den Artikel, der ein Verständnis für diese Materialien auch an Laien vermittelt.
Aber wirklich "leichter als Luft" ist ja am Ende doch keines der Materialien, das fand ich dann doch eine recht irreführende Headline / #clickbait. Ich wollte wissen, wie das geht!
Und der Abschluss mit dem kommentarlos verwendeten Begriff "Yttriumtitanlanthancerneodymsamariumgadoliniumdysprosiumeuropiumhafniumoxid"war dann doch etwas lustig ;-)
I agree.
Your Union Jack dress IS disgusting!

@gtbarry That's #clickbait , not worth reading.

@Techaltar not even a hashtag or a link or a name. #clickbait much?
Write better.
Clickbait ist allgegenwärtig. 
Von übertriebenen Überschriften über Button-Designs bis hin zu Thumbnails versuchen manipulativ gestaltete Interfaces unsere Aufmerksamkeit zu lenken.
Ehrliches Design ist nachhaltiger als psychologische Tricks, aber wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen Überzeugung und Manipulation?
