@FilmClickbait saved you a click. Now a bunch of comic book movie twitter rumormongers are angry and creating conspiracy theories.

The bolded seems to hit the nail on the head.
If he tried to make this argument to my j-school prof, the reply would be "Write better headlines."
It's like the YouTubers who complain that YT isn't an easy mode money making machine anymore.
Been following the account for a while, if the sites didn't post bullshit as fact then we wouldn't have this problem in the 1st place.
like I have seen click bait headlines related to Avengers Endgame and filmbait pointed out it wasnt a FACT it was taken from a fricking theory a fan had on Reddit.

What a bunch of fucking tools. Maybe stop making clickbait and you won't be featured on an anti-clickbait account.
I've been following that account for a while now and it's great being able to get the info I want without having to click through to a site that takes a couple paragraphs to get to the point, which is often nothing but loose rumour half the time.

It's all so deliberately disingenuous-and the fact that this "Daniel" character (who lists himself as an "influencer" on his Twitter profile) is so upset means that it's good.
Fuck them, too much of this clickbait trash comes up on my phone that I end up just blocking, Heroic Hollywood is the most recent one to show up with their garbage of making lazy "news" stories from bad Reddit fan "theories" and fan art.
It's annoying enough to knowingly click on a clickbait article, and instead of it giving you what it promised, it's 3 to 4 long paragraphs of setup. If you remove all the unnecessary fluff crap and just seek the answer you wanted from the article, usually it is like three sentences long found in 5 full paragraphs in the body. Get better at writing, then maybe something like this wouldn't exist.
I've followed the account for years, it's hilarious. I've also been banned by the Slashfilm twitter account for pointing out a couple of its extra clickbaity headlines
I know generalizing isn't a good thing to do but holy hell, I will never stop thinking that fan theories are incredibly fucking stupid and the fact that some sites rely on that bullshit kinda proves my point.
I mean, it's fun to think what Kevin McAllister's dad work is or whatever, but when the theory isn't canon and the stupid fans react negatively towards that, it's when it pisses me off.

Those website are literally just shills for these movies. It's so fucking gross.
I do suspect a lot of them do it hoping they get invited to premiers and special events and shit. Like they're just grasping at press credentials so they can get close to the people who make their favorite nerd shit.
He's so lucky that Ultimate Alliance 3 was announced at the VGAs, since he was clearly trying to hint at Square Enix Avengers being shown.
This article perfectly sums up what is wrong with these trash sites. The title of the article is about a fan poster, which is then shown in the page itself.
But this is the text of the actual article:
The entire article is randomly as fuck about Josh Brolin's performance as Thanos.
Fine with this.
I'd be throwing a shitfit if sports news became as rampant with click bait nonsense as comicbook news has these days.
"YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHO'S INTERESTED IN BRYCE HARPER AND MANNY MACHADO!"
At least most sports reporters/outlets have the decency to just tell you in the headline what the crux of the story is, inviting a click for more details. Of course that tends to mean those articles have some level of substance, which this date release rumor shit is hollow.

FilmClickbait doing God's work. lol I've followed the account for awhile and the amount of clicks it's saved....
The meltdown over the weekend was hilarious though.
Motherfucker straight out told someone it was the Avengers game. lol He had no clue.
Dude throws enough shit at the wall that eventually something has to stick.

Isn't that DanielRPK guy the same dude that was guessing when the new Avengers trailer would drop, get it wrong, tell everyone his sources misunderstood or higher ups wanted to keep things fresh, then start all over again?
Yeah fuck that guy. Maybe spend time trying to collate real sources rather than guessing at reddit threads and he wouldn't need to resort to clickbait.

Why are the film bloggers so certain that it's a colleague/one of their own running the account? This looks like something anyone can do, it's just commenting on posted tweets.
This guy is basically ad block for click bait.
Is there a Twitter account that does this for recipes that cuts out the random ass blog paragraphs?

Whining on Twitter is easier than writing quality content.
They should adapt so that they aren't reliant on wasting my time.
Man what a career re-posting single line internet rumors. Only thing greater is creating slide shows with heavy ads smh.
Seriously fuck clickbaiters. This person is doing gods work.
I don't use Twitter but this thread has tempted me to make just to follow this one out of spite for those bitching about it.
Thank you! I hate scrolling through so much bullshit just to read the recipe.
Gritty's evil knows no bounds!
Wait, Gritty kills fascists. Are clickbait sites fascists?
I know, right?! It's so fucking annoying it's actually the first "source" of "news" that I banned from my Google Feed.
If you run a clickbait site and you're reading this: You want my clicks, right? Well, I don't click if you have a shitty clickbait title, you nincompoop!
Eh.
These two seem like more of a the Twitter handle trying to be witty instead of preventing clickbait, since those two titles did not seem clickbaity at all.
