    People's habits have nothing to do with a journalist's quailty of work. A fine article not read is still a fine article.

      A fine article is less likely to have a clickbait headline than a clickbait article is. So it's a decent correlation.

      "Reporting can 100% be clean and fair even with bad headlines."

      This is the part I disagree with. People are very often misled by bogus clickbait headlines.
