It's clickbaity to say "profits fall by x% due to y reason"?

Headlines like this always imply (at least the way I read them) as “Nintendo SHOCKED profits fall unexpectedly”

I'm just saying that you're the one adding that implication to a very uncharged statement

[–] breadsmasher 5 points 1 month ago

Yes. I very clearly stated that - twice. And now for a third time - its my reading which leads to the implication.

I didn’t say the headline was clickbait. The implication to me reads as clickbait. The headline I suggested reads, to me as less clickbaity.
