Polish truck drivers have spent nearly a month blockading different crossing points along the border with Ukraine. Last Friday, Slovak drivers joined the protest, turning the dispute into an all-out European crisis. #EuropeDecoded

They are mad because of the economic exemptions the EU gave Ukraine to support the war has hurt their profits. Ukrainian truck drivers are making the best of it and taking deals in Europe that are normally more expensive and Ukrainians have no access to.
Fuck that clickbait. Why do journalists feel the need to continue this annoying practice ?
Because views and visitors and ad revenue and so on and so forth.
RSS slowly dying for the same reason. It effectively bypasses all of that.
When will an AI be ready for my phone so that it can completely remove all injected non relevant content and stitch back articles into the original form? Only get precisely what you ask for.
I know. Pipe dream.
Why you say it’s a clickbait? The article does talks about the points you mention.
Clickbait titled articles often do but purposefully obscure the topic. A title should inform the reader of the content, such as “Polish truck drivers protest EU war exemptions for Ukraine”.
Instead, click bait articles go for sensationalist non informative titles, like “You won’t BELIEVE what Polish truck drivers have done by the border to Ukraine!!!”
The simple fact is that journalism requires money, and that money comes from advertisements in the case of free online publications. This title isn’t unreasonable, it piques your interest to click the article, and the article informs you exactly about what you expected.
I don’t really have an issue with this.
But this title simply says it is explaining why a thing is happening. It isn’t sensationalizing, placing an emotional value on it, nor excessively simplifying it.
This title is the opposite of click bait.
That is my understanding on the title as well. In relation to it’s content, I found it pretty dissent.
@ NeuronautML if you have another article that gives a better overview on this topic, it would be great if you could add the link here. Thanks!
