The internet would be so much better without these fucking clickbaits and shitposts everywhere.
Its a shame internet browsers automatically open clickbait posts and force people to read them.
Oh wait...they don't.
I click on all TheScavanger threads because he once admitted that he uses a discussion topic generator he found on Reddit to create threads.
I click for science because I want to see how his generator is evolving.
So that makes you a mad scientist?

So you have some sort of advanced technology browser that tells you beforehand that there is nothing related to the title in the body of the post?
Oh wait...you were being sarcastic.
Cmon, with a title like this thread surely you knew before opening it was clickbait, right?
If not..."Have I Got an Offer for You!!"
Oh so you're that Nigerian Prince!! Long time no see. What happened to my billion bro?

"Read now. You won't believe what I find out!" Uhmm so what did you find out? I only clicked to find out what you found out.
The finest of clickbait!

On topic... Aside from Indies, yep, the sub model is dead.
Greed's all that awaits us when it comes to MMOs. Unless the recent government interventions keep building up, and the companies get reigned in. Maybe THEN the sub model has a future again.

Sadly, it isn't just MMOs. Look at EA fighting belgium over loot boxes...so many companies that are like EA and Bethesda that are adding more and more greedy ways to milk people out of every cent they have.

Even for a clickbait thread I was disappointed. The content was a hand me down of a hand me down, not even something original. Scavenger of used content perhaps.

as long as Kotik, Andrew Wilson, Patrick Soderlund, etc keep making 30-50 million dollars a year, no business model outside of massive cash shop/lootbox sales will be profitable. Not subscription alone, not B2P alone.
Those two models are very profitable, but not enough to cover the size of those salaries for every top dog within each company.

No one posted or barely viewed that thread. And I didn't use clickbait title or anything like that with it.
Maybe very few people played, still played or even knew about Sim City. Or even cared.
If you put " anyone-still-play-sim-city-4 look what I found out" you might get a few more people but not a horde of people.
Exactly. If I used a similar title to one of these threads, it would have gotten a lot more views and probably better responses. Especially if I didn't even put sim city 4 in the title.
The one post in there is the same quality post as I get in these new threads I've made.
All that proves is...no wonder clickbait is so successful on youtube and everywhere else

Quantity does not equal quality. You're getting a lot of responses that are critical of you as person, and very little that are adding any value to your "topic." So what's the point? Unless you're getting a cut of the ad revenue. OMG, ARE YOU GETTING A CUT OF THE AD REVENUE!?!?!!?!!?!?!

And still better than my actual quality post I made about sim city 4, even including what mods to use and what not. So...no difference what so ever from that thread to this thread. One person replied with a bad quality comment and then edited it out to an even worse one. So no difference at all.
Funny people complain about these kinda titles in youtube/forums/websites etc...but don't actually support the quality posts or news articles or quality youtube videos that don't use clickbait. Hence why clickbait is so popular to use these days.
