No, it wasn't clickbait because the article title isn't clickbait. I just happened to have an opinion on a section that wasn't in direct support of the title. I can call out a lack of proper attribution to the problem without the thrust of the article being inaccurate or deceptive. I can see why you take umbrage with it, but I think you're chasing something that isn't there. I just commented on a farcical take.
