Why cannot they just put erythriol in the title?
Then you wouldn’t click the link to find out what it was.
Yeah but shit like this makes me not want to read the article at all. I just skim it until I find what the thing is.
Just like some annoying marketing campaigns with ads that you have no fucking idea what they are about (like ".it's coming", "soon" and shit like that) and only find out like a month later when they make a new campaign actually telling you that. I will never engage with that company or buy the product just because I hate ads like that.
Oh, I hate it too, but it’s going to continue happening as long as there are more users that increase website traffic and generate ad revenue by falling for the clickbait than there are that avoid the product entirely because of it.
