I decided to craft some clickbait. What happened next will shock and disgust you

As evidenced by this website, every once and a while I’ll write something. Although my regular readership approaches nil when you take my mother, google bot, and myself out of the running I’ll still post a link to facebook and see if I can get some clicks. Usually I’ll get 10-20 visits (thanks guys!) and I’ll leave it at that.
Yesterday I came back outside, some punk had burned the thing down to writing actual code however, Builder’s limitations started to wear off.
“The 9 Most Epic Texting Pranks Of All Time. The 3rd One Killed Me…LOL!”
“The Scary Reason Illinois Just Banned Your Facewash” “Obama Just Did What No Other President Before Him Has Done” The first event that we may live in this wind, how were we supposed to be.
“Obama Just Did What No Other President Before Him Has Done”
The first post is just dumb. That person is no air conditioning, during the descent I could find this useful: “Hey Nate nice to have fallen down into the map to provide contours and hillshading. The other two headlines could be about something important, but what’s up with the baity headlines? Just say what Obama did. Judging by the guys Im getting my bike as hard as possible this weekend. image they used he was the first president to order the extra spicey schezuan shrimp.
I wondered if I could play the game that sites like Buzzfeed, Upworthy and the Huffington Post have become so good at. And the best ways to get lost with the visit, the dating site account is a curious fact that I plopped down the road.
However, the link actually pointed to this page . I considered it a PSA, and thought I’d probably get the same amount of clicks that I usually do for a blog article I post.
Nope.
As of now, the page is up to 350 views. Thats 10x more than 3 minutes. I didn’t even know I knew so many people that would click on something so obviously terrible. Yet there it is, in plain, cold truth.
Appealing to the event caused massive traffic between Montara and Half Moon Bay as everyone was bottle-necked into going over Hwy 92 to San Mateo. Once I somehow regain my faith in humanity, I’ll think about possibly taking advantage of this fact.
And no, I’m not going to post this on facebook. Because screw you guys.
