If you don't know what clickbait is by now... well, here it is:
Clickbait: content that is labelled with an extremely exciting/sensational title but with content nothing close to it.
Point is, you click on it and:
1. The person who posted the clickbait gets a view;
2. The website who made it gets ad money;
3. You get shown a scam.
The point of clickbait is to entice you to click on something. Once you've clicked, the baiter gets some kind of benefit while you get disappointed.
If you want to avoid clickbait, avoid:
>ANYTHING IN ALL CAPS.
>A billion question marks!!!!!!!!!!!
>"NOT CLICKBAIT"
>"GONE SEXUAL"
>"Experts/Doctors/ Baffled"
>"Simple Trick"
>Anything Where Each First Letter In Every Word Is Capitalised.
>Anything you see at the bottom of a site (Recommended by Taboola, etc.).

Something David Dobrik and the vlog squad use on all of their vlogs. David has even made merch baised on the fact he uses clickbait. Clickbait is something that draws you in to click on it, to watch a video to see if it actually happens: example "OMG this landed him in the hospital!" So you click on it to see what happens, when in reality it never happened.
Omg that video said he shaved his head so I clicked on it, he never shaved his head.. I so got clickbaited

Clickbait is the new generation's form of jailbait, except online. These e-girls pretend to be older than they are and tend to have fake profile pictures. Therefore, they are clickbait.
John: Hey Sam, look at this hot girl that liked my tweet!
Sam: Watch out John, she could be clickbait.
