You’ll never guess how much putting “you’ll never guess” into your title makes me avoid clicking your article.

Normally - yes, but in this case it reads as “you can guess exactly how it went”

Oh how I am in your boat, buddy. The more clickbaity, the _less_ value I _know_ I'm getting. A good article shouldn't need to have an "ending" that can be "spoiled". A good article should be interesting to read because of its content, and to find out more "behind" whatever conclusion there might be. A headline like "How we now understand humans are actually blobs of soft fungus" might pique my interest. You have the conclusion right there, but _why?_

Can't say it's not accurate though. I never did guess how it went.
