Well, so far I can resist most FB clickbait... unless it's a link to a Jennifer Lawrence interview. Then all is lost. :)

Recent Clickbait headlines on Yahoo:
"Passenger gets stuck betwwen train and platform Commuters watching failed attempts to free a trapped man take matters into their own hands. Caught on Video."
"Father's sweet reaction of a lifetime. One look at the rare find had Larry Benson tearing up -- and then he read the note from his son. You earned it.

Then there's CNN's "Breaking News" headlines that attempt to reel you in by giving ou part of a newstory.

Buzzfeed is another place clickbait reigns.

I am sure that Twitter, Instagram, Pintrest (sp?) and the other social media websites also have plenty of clickbait.

Staying away from Facebook won't keep Clickbait at bay...
