Its vague. Most people do not click on every post, so you need to have a title that captures peoples attention

Sorry, I assumed people would be interested in who is supporting the terrorists and insurrectionists. Next time I'll sensationalize it so zoomies click. Maybe I can make a headline so catchy that it will, umm.... bait them into clicking? Will that work?

"Guildwars Lead Designer, Jennifer Scheurle, involved with Riot Kitchen, the bus full of petrol cans and explosives. "

The above title give us the information we need to understand the content of the post. [title of subject][subject's name][action][relevant context]

"Gamers are supporting the terrorism and insurrection. Big surprise given the social justice turds gamers prop up!"

This title does not give people the who or the what. It reads more like a personal response to the post rather than a title of the post.

First: "Clickbait" is a title that promises something ("ALIEN TECH USED TO MAKE FALCON 9") and then fails to deliver in the article.

Second, your title is clickbait: "Gamers are supporting the terrorism and insurrection. Big surprise given the social justice turds gamers prop up!"

KiA is a board full of gamers who regularly boycott games made by trash people, and you made a post accusing them of supporting terrorism whether or not they play the game in question.

Fun fact: A veteran reporter once noted, "Any headline that asks a question can be answered 'No' before you read the article," since it is only a milder form of clickbait. E.g., "Did George W. Bush Suppress the Black Vote?" is a clickbait headline, since If they had evidence, that would be the headline.
