Abstract

In this era of information overload, all kinds of information come into our vision in different forms. Among them, click bait has been developed into a new advertising method at a remarkable speed. This paper briefly introduces the click bait in the form of “Yellow Journal” for the first time in history. Although the click bait can improve brand awareness and bring profits to businesses, the click bait is also consuming people’s trust in the brand at the same time, and creative ideas will be exhausted one day. Based on the reasons above, the author analyzes the click bait and puts forward some suggestions on how to identify and avoid them. Through this study, the author finds that the clickbait has deeply penetrated into people’s lives, so people should timely identify all kinds of clickbait to avoid potential scam.
