Google is laying off more employees and hiring for their roles outside of the U.S.
Google is laying off more employees and hiring for their roles outside of the U.S.
Headline: “Google lays off hundreds of ‘Core’ employees”
In the body of the article: Google is laying off at least 200 employees
So hundreds is 2 of them, 2 hundreds. Literally the lowest definition of the term “hundreds” to still be accurate. Why the Clickbaity headline, CNBC? The truth was enough.
That’s not clickbait. Its the literal truth, and gives you a possible range of 200-900 people, as after that they would have said “thousands.”
Its not exactly 200, or they could have said 200. They have an ambiguous number to convey, so they used the ambiguous “hundreds” to do it.
Pretty direct and reasonable, honestly.
I’m gonna be that person…
thousand
You clicked it and read the article, so it worked as intended. As long as this shit works, they will continue to do it.
True, and it makes me trust CNBC less. Further, my post here saves everyone else from reading the article because its click-bait. Their bad faith headline is costing them clicks.
Unfortunately it is still a clear net positive for them. Despite some of us actively pushing back against it, most people just click to read.
For now, sure. There as a time, now long ago, where I’d follow a Daily Mail link to read a story, until I noticed that the inflammatory headline used was never…ever substantiated. Now a refuse to even click on any Daily Mail links because I know they’re in bad faith. I don’t think I’m alone in this.
CNBC is voting itself onto that same block list.
okay dude
