clickworthy

Begs for taps

Clickworthy describes online content deemed worth clicking on—an article, video, or link compelling enough to warrant attention.

The term often carries slight skepticism, acknowledging the gap between what promises engagement and what delivers value: The headline seemed clickworthy, but the article was thin.

Compare clickbait, which is clickworthy content that disappoints.
