Psychological manipulation. Let's call it what it is. The internet is a decadent place and this sort of thing is everywhere, trying to control your mind. It's best to limit your time spent on it.

Answering all the questions few are really asking can be fun for some people.
Ask any SEO expert however, and they will say that nothing than good content comes close to getting good ratings on the Internet. And whe title has to match the content to a T.
Only music is better than that, whenever I see these Why headers, the Boomtown Rats song comes to my mind (Tell me why i don't like mondays)

a) It is bad journalism. Very bad.
b) It is bad taste. Very bad.

Hello, the answer is very simple. Articles that have a headline in which a question is posed perform better than those stories that don't. Whereas in the past editorial decisions were made fundamentally by the opinion of one person, now we have the data to inform us about what works and what doesn't.

My question is why do people think they have answers to a question when they don’t know the back story or any context of the situation... Like for instance, the context writers offer in columns like Roebuck and Hughes.
Yours is a validation of the value of the uninformed egalitarian opinion
I can only ask... Pochemu ???
Anyway... Dobro pozhalovat'

Interesting. So articles have to "perform". Am I right in assuming performance is measured by how many readers look at an article, not by how relevant or in-depth the information is?

Isn't that the very definition of clickbait?

Passive aggressive much? I don’t consider Autosport a news publication. It’s basically a motorsport tabloid that cloaks itself in a faux veneer of respectability. You guys may want to have a peek at the various style manuals journalistic publications use.

This question speaks to me on a very raw level
Having said that, I don't visit autosport for the articles. Just the forums.

I haven't missed an issue since 1966, have bought back copies to 1950, and do not recognise Autosport from your description.
