Agreed. Quite annoying. The top rated comment post here was just 5 lines or so and told me more than 4 pages of that click bait article.
Even when it publishes stuff from Ars or wherever, I often skip the article and just read the comments here because they're much more insightful and if there's anything good, the commentators here know better.
The demand at news sites that they keep churning out news no matter what is what lowers their quality. Sometimes there just isn't anything worthwhile to read at the moment about a topic.
