Causing disappointment is subjective. I found it disappointing, because it didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know or that a reasonable person wouldn’t be able to figure out on their own. If the title had said it was because they were no jail plea deals I wouldn’t have bothered clicking.

Thank you for the explanation though. I would agree that it isn’t a strong example of clickbait, and frankly it would be hard to write a perfect title in this instance - but that’s mainly because it’s a pretty weak story. I’m just slightly irked by the way it’s written, as if to imply there was more substance.
