- reaperducer 4y agoIt's not clickbait. It's called being clever, and something that newspapers have done for centuries before internet griefers came along.
- systemvoltage 4y agoIdk, there is not much cleverness is finding some random obscure thing and trying to shoehorn that to propel an ideological message.
- cocacola1 4y agoThe article is entirely focused on the fish, though. Where's the ideological message?
- systemvoltage 4y agoIn the headline, and the entire article is not about fish. It’s a commentary about society. It dog whistles to their readerbase.
- volleygman180 4y agoAnd it's even nearer when links to those articles are posted on HN
- benj111 4y agoIt isn't click bait. The fish is literally called the sarcastic fridgehead. If the title was "the goldfishes broad mouthed display is reserved for fighting" would that too be clickbait?
- bombcar 4y agoThe title on HN changed, it was originally posted as something like "When Sarcastic Fringemouths open, beware"
