Outrage-click

The act of clicking on an internet article because it's headline has provoked a sense of outrage within the reader.

The articles are typically clickbait designed to generate a sense of outrage, leading to more page views and advertising revenue. They are rarely enlightening or teach the reader anything new, and could be construed as an intellectual waste of time.

I foolishly outrage-clicked on an article about flat earthers, even though they are ultimately inconsequential and not worth anybody's time thinking about.
