I don’t see it as clickbait per say. I also don’t have the flags set where it would be removed.
Titles in discourse do very well in SEO it seems. At least alot of threads made seem to do very well.
However there are some topics and titles that would sound “fake” or unnatural but do well for blog when considering seo.
Instead of these popping up in latest, I’m talking about in its own category that would not be included in latest but it would allow crawlers to search and index thus sending more traffic to the site. Something were staff and veteran members would know this category is meant for those type of seo tactics.
