I wouldn't say that not going with an overly descriptive title classifies a bait. You can always add more context but that's what the actual article/video is for, a title is just a brief general description to catch the readers attention. Something like "Interview with Keonne Rodriguez, the founder of Samurai Wallet - a privacy focused bitcoin wallet who's going to prison after being compelled to pleading guilty to running an unlicenced money transmitting business." is very descriptive but doesn't make a great title IMO. It's like saying that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a readbait because calling it "A Wizard Orphan and a Magic Rock" would give more context.
