      Sensational language isn’t clickbait. Saying “you won’t believe what happens next!” is clickbait.

        That’s exactly what sensational language is… Language meant to excite and entice the reader without respect to the accuracy of what’s being reported. It only became clickbait when we started clicking on things to read them instead of picking up a newspaper.
