What is KillBait?
Surely you’ve clicked on a news article with an eye-catching or sensational headline and ended up wasting your time reading something that doesn’t provide any value. That’s clickbait, and we hate it.

KillBait is a news aggregator developed by students and professionals in journalism and web development from Argentina, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Our focus is on providing readers with clear, concise, and relevant summaries of each news story.

Our main innovation is a system powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) designed to detect clickbait or sensationalist news. Instead of simply discarding these articles, our system generates more accurate summaries, free from exaggeration and deception, ensuring readers won’t be disappointed.

Additionally, users play a key role in this process: they can vote to correct the AI’s initial classification, helping to improve the categorization of news articles.

We always cite and link to the original sources, allowing readers to easily access the full news article if they wish. In sections such as “Top Visited”, we highlight only those news pieces that have not been classified as clickbait or sensationalist.

As with other news aggregators, users can upvote articles to make them more visible on the front page or downvote them if they detect issues such as misinformation, restricted access, spam, and more. They can also leave comments and engage in discussions with other users.
