than "fake news" or "clickbait"

I'm talking about that uncomfortable feeling you get when you click on an article, like pic related, only to find out it's been generated without any real content and is just trying to get you to click on ads,
basically

the uncomfortable feeling of knowing something was written by a robot trying to seem human

Faux-machina?

Nah, "fake news" and "clickbait" are perfectly adequate it's the people that use them to just mean "opinions I don't like" that are screwing things up, we don't need to invent a new word because if we do they'll just mess that one up too

Clickbait is the perfect word for that.
