I read your comment, thought “to get clicks, duh”, and then I clicked through the link.

This is a research paper.

I would like to echo your question: why? Does academia incentivize clickbait?

With the rise of Altmetrics? Arguably yes.

IIRC, the last research I saw on this, which was awhile back, argued that clever titles get read more and cited less. https://www.researchtrends.com/issue24-september-2011/headin...
