Yup. The title of this post isn't even the same as the article headline. If I had read the "Silicon Valley" in the title, I probably wouldn't have clicked it.

as a counterpoint, i got it immediately; it's a pretty common metaphor, and a clear parallel to "ivory tower" in the first bit. not clickbaity at all. (though i thought it was going to be about access to massive quantities of personal data, rather than simply better pay.)
