...in my dream last night :)
Hi there!
Welcome to my blog post. What you just fell victim to is called "click bait". I HATE CLICK BAIT! I am an admitted political junkie. Scrolling through Facebook over the past year has been exhausting to say the least. There were so many twist and turn as well as political scandals taking place it was hard to keep up.
Que the click bait headlines: "Breaking News: Hillary Finally Did It!" "Trump Busted: Russia Ties Confirmed" and on and on and on. I couldn't help myself. I had to know what they found out. 99% of the time the article was vaguely connected to the headline or is was so misleading that they used word play to make it seem like something it wasn't actually about.
I have been spending more of my time on Steemit these days and have not had a click bait problem. Thank God!!
Next time you see a catchy headline do your homework on the source and what the article actually says. Sharing posts based off the headline will make you look foolish to anyone that actually invest the time reading.
Sorry for the click bait :) I do wish my dream comes true though!!
I hope you enjoyed this post.

Steem On!!!
Click bait is always a problem though I find myself more accepting of it when the article it links to is honest and forthright about its claims. Maybe that's just detached cynicism sinking in though? Anyway, I agree, Steemit does seem to cater less to the "SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!" crowd and it's nice to have higher quality content for a change.

Thanks for your comment. I figured this post could cover the topic of click bait in a humorous way. I have gotten much better at weeding out the garbage but I still can't help myself sometimes :)
