Shakespeare. King. Hemingway. Twain. Dickens. Rowling. Read.
These are the first seven names that came up when I Googled “most popular writers” just now. Are they popular? Are they writers? Who can really know. The point is they came up in the top of the Google search, and I included them in list-form at the top of this post because I once read a headline about SEO and inferred that I need more easily-Googled lists to make millions of dollars from the comfort of my own blog.

But back to you, Dear Reader. What can YOU infer from the list of authors named above? What do you think it means that 6 of the 7 are men? What about the fact that they’re all white? Hmm? What about that? Or perhaps you have feelings about the irony of being an author and having the last name Read.

Leave your deepest and darkest feelings / thoughts / assumptions / judgmental ideas / biased opinions / unsupported claims / saddest personal stories / spammy chain letters in the comments below. Preferably in all caps with links back to your LiveJournal about the under-appreciated art of macramé.

Did you skip ahead to this part right above the list like a good wittle internet baby? I hope so because who da f reads big chunks of text AMIRITE? Those gifs looked cool though. I bet they made a lot of sense in context but AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT. (Ha ha, you guys get that sick internet reference? Comment below if you got it.) Uh oh, this part’s getting too long. Better get to that list.

There you have it. All of the clickbait headlines ever. No more will ever exist because I sold my soul in order for this to become the conclusive number one search result when anyone Googles “a list of every clickbait headline ever” or “what color is the dress?” So, if you find any more clickbait headlines, you’re wrong and I’ll block you.
Here’s where I leave you with a question to foster engagement and start a relevant dialogue: Do you think ISIS is really that bad?
