I usually respect ars technical for writing great stories. This time, however, they could've included the name of the app so it wasn't clickbaity. It's newsbreak for those wondering.
Uh... The very first sentence mmmmm
Right, but the headline doesn't include that to bait you into clicking the article to get that information. Just like every other click bait article about android app issues.
so now youre changing your requirements after your first statement is shown to be flawed? The headline rarely conveys what you are suggesting.
L. O. L.
First of all, my story can't change, since that's my first comment in this thread. Second, reading comprehension is your friend in situations like this. From what you quoted:
Those are two independent clauses, referring to content and headline separately. That would be clear if you consider the definition of click bait:
Their wording a bit confusing if you're not reading closely, but their original point still stands. The content is generally good, but the headline is clickbaity.
Just because click bait is common doesn't mean it isn't click bait.
Pathetic. Just admit your made a stupid statement and accept it.
Lol, ok kid. I'm not going to argue with you all day because you misinterpreted someone else's confusingly worded statement.
I don't have time to deal with that kind of fragile ego.
They aren't the original poster. you're just yelling at some passerby who was simply trying to tell you that you misinterpreted the original comment...
