Therein lies the problem - its not the headline..

A headline is designed and intended to be clickbait. What makes it the undesirable side of clickbait is not the headline itself, but the content that it leads to. So, I submit, what is needed is Ais that can determine how worthwhile the content is. Some factors might include:

- More than 300 words of real content per page:

- Less than 3 pages total unless very high word counts

- Images that are not reproduces endlessly elsewhere

- Thumbnail images that are contained in the first page

- unique text

and I'm sure we could add many more...
