These 12 Obvious Realizations Have People Questioning Everything
This headline creates curiosity and builds suspense while being concise. What sort of realizations would have that level of impact? That’s the main question that is derived from the headline. The word ‘Obvious’ creates a contrast with the impact that is implied at the end. It continues to emphasize the promise of facts or realizations, as this is the major selling point of the article. I kept the number 12 as it’s an important factor in generating intrigue, and numbers are a powerful tool.
I clicked this one because it was suspenseful. It promised to tell me a secret and built curiosity. It was relevant to me as I am familiar with both the Truman Show and the Sims. The way I find it generates curiosity so effectively is that when you read between the lines you realize there are two questions that are promised to be answered in this article, that being ‘what game is this’ and ‘why will I never get to play it?’. Even though I did not immediately think of those questions, after reading the headline it was something I subconsciously asked myself which compelled me to click on the headline. Curiosity played the biggest role but without relevancy I would not have been as compelled, the pop culture that was mentioned was enough to entice me into clicking and learning more. Something I also found captivating was the word ‘New’ right at the beginning. When we discussed the F pattern and the hierarchy we discussed how we should put important information that we feel the audience would want to know first. Saying ‘New’ instead of starting with the word ‘The’ for example creates intrigue and excitement for what’s to come. We all like when something is new so using the word in the beginning immediately triggers a sense or feeling of importance. The last thing I noticed about why I found it so emotionally enticing and why I clicked it was because two keywords popped out to me, that is ‘New Game’ and ‘Never Get To Play’ this one left me feeling both cheated and intrigued. Why can’t I play the new game? This one question was a primary motivator for why I clicked the article.
Was the headline in Question #1 An accurate representation of the article content?
a) Explain your reasoning clearly
b) Reference course discussion on misleading vs effective headlines
The headline effectively communicates what the content is through its descriptive wording. The headline promises realizations people had ‘Late In Life’ and the content is quotes from people who realized something with nobody younger than 30. The promise of realizations however can come off as exaggerated in some cases but out of 12 there were some that were actually interesting fun-facts. The headline was not necessarily misleading but some parts are exaggerated, this makes sense because the headline was captivating enough the content just had to fulfill the basic promise of interesting fun-fact realizations.
I chose this headline as it felt relatable and exciting, it promised me possible knowledge on something that I didn’t already know, this means it combines facts and secrets which incentivized me to click. It is specific by using words such as ‘Late-In-Life’ and it’s descriptive by using words like ‘Extremely’, ‘Chaotic’ and ‘Painfully’ this creates a sense of excitement and intrigue. The title is unique because it uses specific numbers, those numbers feel exciting and provide a dopamine hit leading to intrigue. It is quick and to the point while still being able to elaborate and pull me in.
