Misleading title. Guy never had bedbugs, just saw them
Next time you see bed bugs, go ahead and sleep in the bed, that way you have something to complain about.
You can even get allergic reactions from such a bite. Is that really what you want to try find out?
“Don’t worry about those bedbugs you see on your bed and pillows, it’s not like they’ve bitten you”
Also, the title says nothing about having bedbugs, it just says it was a nightmare.
I now also have nightmares.
Tbf, reading the headline I also assumed the author accidentally took them home. I'm pretty sure this ambiguity is on purpose, and should be frowned upon.
What ambiguity? “Booking.com ignored me after my bedbug nightmare” is a fine headline. Seeing bedbugs on your pillow when you walk in, not getting a clean replacement room, missing out on work, and having to pay for this experience is a nightmare.
The ambiguity of what exactly is meant by 'nightmare'. It intentionally leaves it up to the readers interpretation what could be meant, and because of the harshness of the used word, the reader immediately thinks of the worst possible outcome - an infestation of your own home.
That’s on you for assuming, it’s not a long article and it’s not unclear how it all played out. Had the author not bought new clothes and washed the rest that would have been the outcome.
The thing I'm trying to get at: a good title shouldn't leave room for assumptions, and I'm pretty sure this kinda stuff is being done just to make you click, not to provide good journalism.
Shouldn't making assumptions about an article before reading it be frowned upon too?
You do have a point there. Media literacy should get a better focus during education.
However I don't think its a fair comparison. The general public cannot currently be expected to have good media literacy, as long as there is no proper public education. I'm not aware of any public schools properly teaching media literacy during the general education (I mean before college), so a good chunk of the population, if not the majority, will never even stop to consider things like what kinda assumptions they made about an article. (Just like I did before this discussion)
It is something you can expect from someone who studied journalism though.
So if the goal of the journalist was good journalism, they should plan ahead and use clear language without any room for assumptions. If they use headlines like this it just seems like clickbait to me.
You use the word “AI” the same way the right uses “woke”.
See quotes... that means someone saying something. Than a reason afterwards. I don't think ai is that smart.
How does that matter? He still had to change plans. Couldn't sleep in a room. Had expenses.
Nice try, bedbug.
