"Controversy"

I don't want to run afoul of any Wikipedia policy on what constitutes "controversy," but is what currently exists in the "Controversy" section really that? I don't think people being confused about relatively obvious satire is all that controversial. Nor is the quasi-philosophical question as to whether ClickHole is "clickbait parody" or "parody-as-clickbait." Efyeahimamarxist (talk) 15:23, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"it was revealed that the ClickHole team meets frequently to brainstorm about new ideas and topics that can be written about."
