“Unlocking the Secret: How BuzzFeed’s Clickbait Headlines Manipulate Your Curiosity and Keep You Clicking!”
1. They make you too curious to ignore
A headline and a featured image might be the only elements you encounter from an article as you come across it on Google or social media.
This is why media sites put a lot of work into the way they phrase their titles and craft their featured images.
One method BuzzFeed uses for titles is giving you enough information on a topic to make you curious but not enough information to give you the full story.
So, when we come across a headline that seems pretty outrageous but doesn’t give everything away, we can’t help but click.
