I know this is mentioned frequently but for people that have lots of other things going on in their lives it is really nice to know what merits consideration.
It's been a long time since I was in grade school but I was taught that the subject line should contain as much of the content as useful.
But many posters like to use "teaser" lines which are just "Look at this!"
Maybe this works ok when the browser is looking at the home page which may include a bit more context.
It doesn't work if someone is trying to scan other one-line lists.
I won't click on teasers any more.

You can usually tell if it's satire, though. Not always, but I would say 90% of the time.

There's an "If you don't need" one at the top right now. This is one of my clickbait peeves.
