Because clickbait gets clicks! That's what makes it clickbait, rather than just being some nonsense nobody clicks on.

Flag it if you hate it.

Because this 220 pounds for a cut-up sock article resonates with the HN community?

Because this place loves outrage just as much as any other community. And it’s no fun to make fun of others in a thread that gets flagged and hidden.

HN has systems to prevent voting rings. Yes, sometimes clickbait makes it to the front page here. Sometimes people just gonna to be baited, even on HN. But flags won out on this one and it spent only an hour on the front page.
