You see, clickbaiting has been part of humanity for a long time. It wasn't called clickbaiting of course but fraud. Fishy doctors selling their snake oil, apparently curing every disease there is.
Nowadays everyone is doing it, even the news network. Writing every stupid thing to attract the attention of their prey.
"BREAKING NEWS: JUSTING BIEBER GOT SHOT" (and in reality someone threw an egg at him or whatever) This was just an example.

There is no truth anymore, the media was supposed to be for sharing information with the world. But today, we are drowning in overstimulating cartoons or fake news. We are becoming dependant of those things and we are too lazy to change anything. Why? Because it is entertaining.
We need drama, it is a change for our boring and repetetive lives. Another example would be a car accident. Everyone has too see it, driving past the crashed car to shoot some photos or record it.

Humanity is evolving back into its former state

A mindless animal.
