互联网和社交平台已逐渐成为大众获取信息的最主要平台，而对点击率的狂热追求，让新闻资讯APP上的新闻开始以博眼球、标题党等方式出现。

The Internet and online social platforms have become one of the main sources where the public can gain information. In pursuit of more watchers, news on some applications are made eye-catching, whose titles do not befit the subject.
The Internet and social media platforms have become the main channels through which the public gets information. To attract views, the feeds of many news apps are filled with thin content with catchy titles – aka clickbait.

一些社交平台的新闻机构将某些吸引人的网络视频画面通过重新剪辑、拼接、改变视频码率等手段，配上吸引力十足的标题，炮制成“热搜’新闻，并打上原创标签。而机器甚至通过对若干热词的集合，快速生成一篇所谓的“原创新闻”，在社交网络上大肆传播，

Some press associations put tag of “original” on remade videos, which are stolen from other attrative videos online. After recutting the clips, changing some statistics, and titling them with tricks, a news will list in polular charts. Even worse, mechines can collect many appealing words to make up a news as quickly as possible. After that, the Internet is bombarded with news of this kind.
Some outlets repost popular videos after stitching clips together and changing the file bitrates so that they won’t be identified as duplicates or aggregated content. Content generation software can generate an “original” news report by combining popular content, and these news pieces usually have extensive reach.

    这些都与传统新闻机构对于新闻准确性和写作质量的要求背道而驰，打击了那些真正追新闻真实、原创的新闻工作者的信心，造成劣币驱逐良币的恶劣效应，还可能导致读者因为越来越难获得真正高质量的资讯，而失去深刻思考的习惯和判断能力，最终没有人再关注真正的社会问题。

    The behavior betrays the core principle of news which is demanded by traditional press companies, accuracy and quality. In this way, competent reporters who ensure the truth and originalty may lose confidence and be kicked out of the market. At the same time, hard to get access to news with high quality, readers may ~~forget the habit of ~~deep thinking and lose their ability to judge, so that realistic social problem can be ignored.
    Such approaches undermine journalists who pursue authenticity and the creation of original articles, leading to high-quality content being sidelined by poor-quality clickbait. As a result, it’s harder for us to quickly find original, in-depth content and insights that feature a unique viewpoint. Moreover, the public may gradually lose its ability to make well-informed judgments and think critically if they’re overwhelmed by junk news feeds.
