True, and it makes me trust CNBC less. Further, my post here saves everyone else from reading the article because its click-bait. Their bad faith headline is costing them clicks.
Unfortunately it is still a clear net positive for them. Despite some of us actively pushing back against it, most people just click to read.
For now, sure. There as a time, now long ago, where I'd follow a Daily Mail link to read a story, until I noticed that the inflammatory headline used was never...ever substantiated. Now a refuse to even click on any Daily Mail links because I know they're in bad faith. I don't think I'm alone in this.
CNBC is voting itself onto that same block list.
okay dude
