It's clear that Buzzfeed either care how terrible their clickbait is for humanity.

This is a Buzzfeed article piling up a list of reasons why @SavedYouAClick isn't useful or helping solve the clickbait problem without ever really admitting to doing it or suggesting they stop.

Buzzfeed's response to their guilty practice of using clickbait...?

  Everyone’s at least a little bit guilty of trying 
  to get others to care about their work (and why not?!).

It’s not entirely clear that clickbait, in its traditional sense, is still rampant today.

Really, Buzzfeed? Have you never read one of your own headlines? You are the King of Clickbait!
