But that's not what clickbait is. Clickbait is a title that quickly imposes the feeling of missing and important information. Especially to get people to click through so the link target can serve ads. That's clearly not OPs goal as he makes the title a call to action, omitting no critical information.

Propaganda has nothing to do with the definition of clickbait, so saying "[propaganda ...] Aka click bait." Is very misleading. And betrays your argument that everything should be exclusively logic, specifically omitting any appeal to emotion. That's exactly what you're trying to do by portraying op as using propaganda. And rhetorically speaking would be a disservice to both reader and article.
