No, you’re right ofcourse. I just did a bad job of explaining my frustration with clickbate naming trends.
Not sure about this community, but many Lemmy communities have a rule that if you post a link to a news article or video, you need to keep the post title the same as the source.

The word is “clickbait”, by the way.

Usually it’s spelled that way, but this is more like an eggcorn.
I kind of like the idea that it’s clickbating, like the creator is jerking themselves off about how much they love clicks, or how clever they are with their manipulative title.

It’s always spelled that way. The word is clickbait, there is no such thing as “clickbate” and it’s nowhere near common enough of a misspelling to be considered an eggcorn.
