There's hardly any other reason to do it. Blowing your credibility like this hurts subscription revenue, so the only goal must be boosting your drive-by revenue (i.e. ad impressions).

People are bitching about 'clickbait headlines' on the Easyjet hack post right now - and that's an article from the BBC.
