So I'm researching the clickbait phenomenon and I see a journalist who wrote respectable pieces in e.g. Dallas Morning News, but now edits a screaming-bloody-murder webzine that puts out "Ghetto Michelle Obama" bilge. Makes me sad.

@kara_dreamer yes, that's my guess too. Seems a lot of clickbait artists start out sensible but then get too much money going yellow :-(
