How ethical is it to bait people into clicking your threads when the title is manipulative and obviously fake, and everyone will think of themselves as fools for being baited, be angry on the OP for wasting their precious time in a forum where we all have bad times especially around Christmas?

I think this question had to be asked and I could not find a better title for this imminent problem.

And come on man many of you know I live in Germany there ain't no shootings happening here. We are not the US.

I don't think chuckling is something Bad. Even if you consider it attention seeking and even question the motives of the people who laugh. If it distracts you from your Problems even if it lasts only 15 seconds I consider it a win.
