Clickbait cuties bring all the boys to the yard


Clickbait purveyors can’t resist running risqué photos of pretty women to attract attention and drive clicks online.
Here are some recent examples with subjects both old and new.

A recent promoted article titled “35 of the most paused movie scenes in Hollywood history” used a photo of actress Kirsten Baker from “Friday the 13th Part 2” (1981).

An article titled “These photos couldn’t have been taken at a more perfect moment” used a photo of Hungarian tennis player Ágnes Szávay.


A similar article titled “She had no clue why the crowd started cheering her” used a photo of Italian swimmer Federica Pellegrini. I noted this same photo used in clickbait in 2017.


Another version of that same promoted article used a photo of San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush Cheerleaders from pre-2017.

And finally, clickbait favorite Claire Abbott returned in a promoted article titled “The most beautiful women ever.” Abbott is a Canadian model and singer who went viral as a teenager for her sexy photos from about 2013 to 2017.
