How does removing the word "how" make a title less of a clickbait?

"I made 40,000 dollars in a week with one simple trick" is exactly as bad as "How I made 40,000 dollars in a week with one simple trick"

It removes repetition and imitation. To avoid a frontpage list full of "why I rewrote ___ in rust" , ,"how I use rust for filing my taxes", "how I switched from braille to rust"
