“Don’t get me wrong”
Then say different words that mean different things…
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s clickbait, but personally I’m not that interested in a retelling of how he started gutting twitter shortly after he bought it last year. Maybe it’s not this article per se, just the straw of musk spam that broke the camels back.

Honestly, outrage-bait / circlejerk articles like these . . . I just don’t want to see this kind of low-effort posts, which OP seems to excel at. . . .
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s clickbait . . .
Your words, my emphasis.

Thanks for emphasising I never called the article clickbait, just outrage-bait, circlejerk and low effort.

Outrage-bait is clickbait. More specifically, it’s a subset of clickbait.
Wikipedia:
Ragebait, rage-bait, rage baiting, and outrage baiting are similar Internet slang neologisms referring to manipulative tactics that feed on readers’ anxieties and fears. They are all forms of clickbait. . . . The term rage bait, which has been cited since at least 2009, is a negative form of click-baiting as it relies on manipulating users to respond in kind to offensive, inflammatory “headlines”, memes, tropes, or comments.

My bad. I thought clickbait just referred to headlines that don’t deliver. Today I learned.

And you brought me into this why? You decided to insult me why, exactly?
