Clickbait implies that it's devoid of real content or has a misleading title. I had never heard of DTube, Steemit or Steem before this, and the title seems accurate enough. What's the problem?


click·bait ˈklikbāt/ noun informal noun: clickbait; noun: click bait

    (on the Internet) content whose main purpose is to attract attention and encourage visitors to click on a link to a particular web page.
Note that it doesn't say anything regarding being devoid of content. You can have clickbaity articles with actual (although questionably useful) content in them.
