    I don’t think it can be said to conclusively be an age issue. I assure you that many Boomers and older Xers love clickbait titles.

    It’s a more granular demographic than just age.

      Maybe but I can only go with my own anecdotal experience and It tends to be the younger audience more attracted to them.

      Of course, I fully admit I may be completely wrong.

        It seems young people tend to have short attention spans and are not willing to scroll down much. Therefore your best bet is to make a clickbait bait title " I raw dogged my mom" with a picture of you miming a person with iron rod in his mouth as thumbnail.
