Examples of clickbait in a Sentence

And the cycle begins again with the next clickbait article.

We banned hundreds of militarized social movements, took down tens of thousands of QAnon pages, groups, and accounts from our apps, removed the original #StopTheSteal Group, labeled candidates' posts that sought to prematurely declare victory, and suspended former President Trump from our platform for at least two years.
