For Steem a lack of upvotes might indicate dissatisfaction.
A blog today had what appears to me to be a clickbait title, since the blog isn't really about why ladies go to bars, but just is about a skyline view bar in China. But the blog has a lot of upvotes.
I think the only reliable way to filter is by having the readers give feedback on the content, since their preferences are what matter. Unless an A.I. filter could learn what readers will appreciate.
Hi @anonymint!
Thanks for joining the conversation, and I think crowdsourcing the task of filtering clickbait content from the Steemit using our feedback is possibly the best solution to make sure that Steemit doesn't become a clickbait heaven for internet marketers, or is it already happening?
I checked out the blog post you linked to and I would consider it to be clickbait. For me personally, if I was enticed by a blog post title to click on it, and then I proceeded to read the post and enjoyed it, I wouldn't consider it to be clickbait.
I guess in the case of the link you shared, some people did enjoy the post, otherwise it wouldn't have gotten so many upvoted, right? I personally didn't find the post interesting, but then again I'm not into bars.
