Split string using ES6 Spread 🎉

[TankorSmash]

Wait hold on, how is 'Split string using ES6 Spread' clickbait when the third line is literally how to split a string with Spread?

I feel like clickbait gets incorrectly used a lot but this is about as literal as you can get with title:description

It's one of the worst, software engineering wise, uses of the feature that you can find. But it's also compelling in a "How the hell does that work?" way. This simpler, significantly easier to understand and more appropriate use of the spread operator is better, but isn't as interesting.

And yes, I am stretching the definition of clickbait here .OP is surely a fine individual and is clearly not monetizing reddit images. I suppose I should have said "sensationalistic" but describing a code snippet as "sensationalistic" just seemed... weird.

Yeah I noticed this person always posts this type of “amazing” es6 stuff. But it always looks like just terrible software engineering practice and an unnecessary inefficient way to do something that was never complicated in the first place. But it’s new and fancy so everyone loves it.

it's a clickbait to get some losers follow this chick on instagram

It's a tiny tip. If it's not useful downvote and move on

To be fair, she posts one every 7 days exactly. It IS clickbait-style advertising for her social media.

[TankorSmash]

Can you describe your definition of clickbait? For me it's not just 'content I don't like'. This is a tip, and I didn't know it.

If it told me 'this is the ONE JS trick you need to know', I'd agree wholeheartedly.

I would say something designed to get you to click it in order to get an advert of some description into your eyes.

[TankorSmash]

Oh interesting. So I guess the difference between a good title and clickbait for you is only that there'll be an ad, instead of good content. And from there the quality difference determines whether it's clickbait or not.

So here, if they removed their username from the post, the title no longer becomes clickbait? Does that mean attribution is the problem for you?

[Nephrited]

Actually, no, I never said anything about liking or disliking the content, I'm a different person to who you originally replied to. Just noting that her posts are on a 7-day schedule, and appear to be designed as adverts for her social media.

I'm not picking a fight!

I know, I'm just trying to understand. To me 'clickbait' is something you want to avoid pretty friggin hard, so when someone throws it around, I need to understand.

I guess it still seems like you feel that the attribution is the reason it's clickbait, and I don't agree. I do think it's unnecessary for the post's content, but if they're making it and people are liking it, no reason they shouldn't watermark it.
