To wonder why people only put half the thread title... in the thread title?

And the rest of it as the first line of the OP?

I don’t get it! Is it just click bait?

I’ve seen so many threads where people will put half the subject in so you have to click on the thread before you find out what the thread is actually about. What is the bloody point?

Yes, to egg up the drama usually in a way that is completely inconsistent with their issue especially if a bit cryptic.

It's worse with a pregnancy group I'm on. Always titles like 'They don't think she's going to make it' or 'I'm grieving today' and it turns out to be about a dog or Grandparent. Deliberately attention seeking and making people think the worse.

It’s incredibly annoying, and getting worse. I make a point of not opening any thread that is so deliberately click-bait-y. Particularly if it purports to be on a serious topic.
