Crazy Trick: Is it a clickbait headline or spam mail?
A simple quiz: Guess whether the text is from a subject in my spam folder or a news headline. Or: 21 scandalous true uncensored answers no one wants you to know, but everyone — including your future life partner — is talking about.
I learned that browsing known clickbait offenders for headlines was less pleasant than browsing my spam mail.

I got 2 out of the first 10 I tried. Would've done better flipping a coin! Nicely done.

If I was feeling especially evil, I'd swap out the ones that most people answered correctly, making the quiz get more difficult as people participated.
But that's extra work, and I'm more lazy than evil.
