Best ClickBait Post Titles?

The JS community and really the internet, in general, is prone to 'clickbait' titles.

Many of them try to insult you as a dev - 15 Reasons Why Ur Bad at JS (and how to fix them) for example.

The psychology of attacking everyone's 'imposter syndrome' combined with the prospect of 'fixing it' 😋.

One of my personal favorites of all time was a video 📹 by Brandon Wirtz, published around 2012 when Node first came out: Node.JS is Stupid and If You Use It, So Are You.

I think 🤔 it's meant to be satirical, I'm not 💯 sure. It's hilarious, and I've been stupid for some years now! 😼

Anyway, what are some of your favorite JS clickbait titles, real or imaginary? No need to actually publish links and give these clickbait-ers any bites - unless it's really funny, or even 'extra' negative - I just like to read them.
