The article follows an anecdotal story of a journalist whom has found their jobs spiral into clickbait and anything that generates revenue. Jobs that advertise to be well paid and 'proper journalism' quickly turn into a jobs where you have to find a story that will help people escape from the serious stories in the news.

I think that this goes to show that the consumers aren't completely at fault for the decline in news online. Jobs titles clickbait are real, and this is because of the assumption of organisations whom are not keeping up with the changes online. people are still interested in journalism and news - sites like twitter just break it first. however most in detailed accounts are still made by news companies such as the BBC and Sky News, they link it online and share it on social media. Clickbait, in my opinion has lost the power it once had, if a YouTube video has a clickbait title - it is almost always talked about and frowned upon.
