Classic I've just read on my Google homepage
"The great British bake off 2019! When does it start? Who are the judges? And who are the contestants?"
So I'm thinking 'ah great, gbbo is back but wait, have they changed judges?' so I click.. Obvs.
But no, the article basically says
"when is it back? We don't know. But there's been a few teasers in Channel 4 add breaks!
Who are the judges? Well it hasn't been confirmed but we assume the same as last year.
Who are the contestants? We have no idea but we're sure to find out soon!"
Right, so basically, you're none the fucking wiser than the rest of us? You were just paid to write an article to say so? What a non story!!
They often do these with popular TV shows and it's just right royally pisses me off!
More of a rant but does anyone else get fucked off by click bait headlines about sweet bugger all

Was it the Express? I get clickbaity headlines pop up on my phone, they're the worst for it. I don't open their non-articles any more.

They do it for their SEO, non articles and with key words about popular tv/films solely so people will click on them when they google those terms.
