Of course, in the sense that the content is not the content that was suggested by the name.

Yeah, that's definitely the number one sense of clickbait.  

Like a lot of words it changes over time to have another meaning.

Like:

Clickbait is using common or overused phrases in order to gain more attention to a story.  That story could be true based on the title but the fact that it used common or overused phrases, makes people call it click bait. 

Despite my earlier posts, agreeing with what the other guy said.  I don't particularly have anything against clickbait.  

If it gets you attention and helps out your stuff I'm fine with doing that. 

You are not selling something for money, you are only asking someone to read some made up fiction.

Are you still against clickbait?
