So how exactly is this clickbait? It’s not clickbait when it’s true.
There are mentioned several items in the article that makes the law worse. Than “just” requiring the gender at birth to be stated on your drivers license.
For starters it has immediate effect with no grace period, making it impossible to get a new license in time.
Second it also invalidates birth certificates, which will make it impossible to get a new drivers license, until you have the birth certificate too.
Third, isn’t this little tidbit nice?:
drivers will be “subject to additional penalties” if they are caught operating a vehicle with their current ID.
Finally, and this is decidedly a witch-hunt:
And IDs make up just one part of the law, which poses sweeping restrictions on trans Kansans’ access to public spaces. As of Thursday, any “multiple-occupancy private space” must be segregated by gender assigned at birth, including restrooms, hospital rooms, dormitories, locker rooms, and more. The law will be enforced by bounty-hunter lawsuits: Anyone who believes they were in a bathroom with someone who was given a different gender at birth can sue for damages of at least $1,000
It’s clickbait because it doesn’t say the important part in the headline. Forcing you to click the article to know what the fuck they’re talking about. It’s a dick way to operate even if it doesn’t fall under the exact definition.
Yes that can be the case, but in this situation there are multiple reasons why it’s worse, and mentioning some would make the content of the article seem as less than it really has, and mentioning all would make an excessively long headline.
You also have to be realistic, and not call something clickbait that really isn’t.
I agree that 9 times out of 10,such a headline is likely to be clickbait. but in this case there is actually a good reason for the headline.
However It should have said THESE details and not just “this detail”. That mistake is probably mostly what makes it look like a run of the mill clickbait headline. Stupid mistake?
Does clickbait have to be misleading? I have always considered anything phrased so as to compel you to read further by omitting the crux of the article to be clickbait, so this would absolutely fall under that. An article with a headline like “never do this while tanning!” that’s about the dangers of citric acid on your skin in the sunlight is a useful, true article with a clickbait title, as another example.

These things considered,
How the fuck is that headline clickbait?

Thank you. Seems obvious.
