I clicked this mainly because I had skimmed the other piece from Sandberg saying that FB didn't need the MBA to be seriously considered.

This article (title included) appears to primarily be "clickbait." I didn't find any part of the piece particularly insightful. There are links advertising their own services/pages to help people with MBAs trying to get jobs, which leads me to believe this was primarily done for traffic

I'm wondering if "clickbait" should be a first-class content flagging option. It's subjective, of course. Clickbait is not quite fraud...but I do feel like people are attempting to steal my attention.

I feel like this is sponsored content, where the company is sponsoring itself. It just happens to have a more clickbait-y headline. As shown on this season of South Park...ads are evolving.

This is "content marketing" at its finest. No third party involved.
