Why do people enter obvious click-bait threads and get offended?

[Deleted]

I don't post much threads. I just have fun discussions. Sports is different to Gen OT.

As a try not to underestimate other people, I suspect to your benefit that you do this in this OT forum as a form of social experiment and the results of it will be in your doctoral dissertation.

or...

... your behavior is only the result of childish spite to incite negative reactions.

And I suspect, that the latter option is the reason behind most of the click-bait treads (not only made by Tennisace) to incite a heated debate by touching delicate topics.

The irony of posters in this thread, keep it classy MMO-C.

The more clicks MMO Champ links get, the more ads they get to show to non-adblocks, meaning more ad revenue! Click baiters are akin to Gods!

I am not @Jayburner. MMO-Champion forum rules does not allow duplicate accounts. One of these accounts would be permanently banned if it was the same person.

Of equal value imo. Which is next to nothing.

You knew before going in, and you get all indignant when the story was click bait. It boggles my mind.

I guess the better questions is why do Mods allow them to exist?

But the irony of YOU making this particular post is not lost on people.
