On the contrary, I find it to be pretty honest about the article's contents. Clickbait implies it misrepresents the content behind it, or adds noise to it that exaggerates what the content entails.

The article itself is persuasive in nature and quite literally is intended to convince the reader to adopt some new product or service- in this case, Nobara. The author is of the opinion that the reader will benefit by switching over. The title reflects that.

“look at me, I’m using this and that and you must use it as well because everyone does and you’re missing out”

It doesn't say you "must" use some alternative. Necessity isn't implied anywhere in the title. And the fomo? Nowhere does it say everyone is using Nobara and you should adopt it so you don't miss out. The article lists and elaborates on the arguments Nathan makes, which aren't just an appeal to majority, and the title reflects that.

If you're going to throw a fit over a title of an article be honest about how persuasive the content is and what the actual article is about, then that's just childish.

The Ace Attorney community would absolutely agree

 

I'm a huge fan of the Jerboa app, and it's the closest experience I've gotten to RiF from any of the Lemmy apps. It's been a pleasure to use despite the occasional hiccups, but one thing that I thought I could personally contribute to was the icon for the app itself. I thought I'd share them with the community, in case if anyone wanted to download them to use for themselves :)

The above Google Drive link contains the five icons featured in the post, and if you guys have any ideas, suggestions, or specific assets you want, feel free to let me know and I can add them to the folder or reply with it in a comment. Things like color changes don't take much time at all, so don't hesitate to ask for something custom!

Buy upvotes?

The sad part is, I can absolutely see this happening. Not as an outright "gib money get updoot" but something more roudabout but effectively the same thing.

"Be heard louder with Reddit Premium! Your comments on posts will be displayed closer to the top for others to see!"

To reiterate, the above is just something I mocked up. May not be upvotes, but still rigging threads by paying Reddit money. I just wouldn't be surprised at this point.

Hah, this is just so pathetic to read.

I don't use the term "terminally online" often, but this is exactly the time to use it. Imagine being this desperate to cling onto your power over an internet forum, not even for the sake of the community, but for the ego-driven lust for wanting control over others on something as menial as Reddit.

Must be a shock to realize all this was in his head, and he was basically just a pawn to spez and everyone else at the top.
