Would like to see a category for sites that generate all their revenue by displaying their content in multipage click throughs that are loaded with ads and self referencing links to more clickbait  spam.

  It's there already, but the name is Webspam.

  The webspam category gets of these kinds of things, but I think a "Clickbait" category should still be useful to block stuff like BoredPanda, Diply, PizzaBottle, viral-(anything), and (the worst one) BuzzFeed. These are sites that are full of "lists" of mind-numbingly useless things ("17 80s Stars Who Are Now Dentists"). Like transdimensia said, they're just lists with each page containing a single item and full of (usually trashy) advertisements. I block them individually as I come across them, but it would be nice to have a category. I know that Webspam doesn't catch these sites, because I have Webspam checked, and they still pop up everywhere.

  Fine.  Why didn't you vote up the idea then?  A comment here will cause nothing.
