A comment on I got a computer science degree in 3 months for less than $5000 (2020). Parent comment
The title is written in an intentionally vague way to entice a potential viewer into clicking it.
If the title was: “I Got a CS Degree in 3 Months for Less Than $5000 from WGU”, that’s not clickbait because it tells a more complete story.
(But telling the whole story from the title means people won’t click, so that’s why it’s written like that)
