This week, in a long-expected coupling of clickbait giants, the two largest chumbox providers decided to merge. Taboola and Outbrain, both based in New York, have agreed to unite under the Taboola name, with Outbrain investors receiving shares equating to 30 percent of the combined company, plus $250 million in cash. Together, the companies said they bring in more than $2 billion annually in gross revenue. (The New York Times)
I have to look at the “15 Countries Americans Are Not Welcome In,” even though I have never been out of this country. You never know.

návnada na kliknutí
Definition from
own experience or research:
Odkaz nebo reference na článek se zameřením na to aby se návštevníkovi stránky mohla v co nejvěčším množství zobrazit reklama.
Example sentences:
Návnada na kliknutí je analogií rybářského termínu, přičem "návnadou" je tady článek, který je záměrne nepravdivý nebo zavádející, a převádí jeho návštevníky na webové stránky sestavené z reklam platících zákazníků. (Wikipedia)

BTW, I would avoid the "Czech" word "kliknout" if possible (and it is always possible), because it is a relatively new neologism, which circumvents virtually all Czech word-formation rules. In fact, it is a mindless calque, even if it got some ground in Czech already (probably due to the cheap crappy Microsoft translations).
