minus-squarebreadsmasher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up34arrow-down1·2 months agoHeadlines like this always imply (at least the way I read them) as “Nintendo SHOCKED profits fall unexpectedly” But nintendo literally expected this. “Nintendo forecast lower profits this year, still beat expectations” Far less clickbaity.
minus-squareAlbum@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·2 months agoI think that’s a result of how headlines are these days. You almost never just get the story it’s gotta be some negative emotion inducing statement. This one might as well read “your favorite company failing?!”
minus-squarereversedposterior@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoYeah. Also why they avoid talking about console releases until the last moment they can get away with it.
minus-squareSami@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down4·2 months agoIt’s clickbaity to say “profits fall by x% due to y reason”?

minus-squareSami@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down5·2 months agoI’m just saying that you’re the one adding that implication to a very uncharged statement
minus-squarebreadsmasher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·2 months agoYes. 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.
