Good enough to know if I have to read it or not. Still ends up disappointed half of the time because an abstract is meant is often a bit clickbaity.

Had a vision of a nightmare future where papers are written in click bait fashion.

Let's start an academic journal named "Trashademia", where we only accept articles with click bait titles. If your research is otherwise not worthy of a publication, we will accept it anyways as long as the content is presented with plenty of humour and trash talk.

Wouldn't hurt if the average paper were written more engagingly than it is now.

Not like

but something better than
