    SavedYouAClick is a subreddit where users post news articles that have clickbait headlines, but will edit the title to include what the clickbait actually is, to “save you a click” by getting the gist of the headline without needing to read the article. Usually reserved for articles that either have an egregiously misleading headline, or are multi-page articles designed to maximize ad impressions on the reader. So post titles may be something like “New law may impact Chicago drivers soon | No new law, ‘left on red’ is still illegal”.
