Yo! I'm Adam. I'm a web developer based in London, UK and I'm open for messages and questions about work or code or anything really.
P.s I'm the one with the beard in my profile pic ✌🏻🐵
Anyhow, what I meant to say was that a "click-bait" only deceives the ones who (actively) expect the "promise" the bait "gives": in this case, a supposedly dramatic outcome. Moreover they don't seem very aware about the diference between conotative and denotative meaning. Tabloids live by these people. :)
