How and when to use it

• If you're posting something about being clickbait-y, a post caption about the same, or even a direct message (DM) about the clickbait-y nature of a particular piece of content you came across, use 🖱️.
• Examples, "Here are ten inspiring ways you can be clickbait-y without being mainstream 🖱️", "Don't judge an article by its headline 🖱️" or "Man. Just look at this article. Only clickbait and no substance 🖱️".
• You could also use 🖱️ while messaging your best friend about an important date you went on - "It was magical. We just clicked the moment we met eyes 🖱️".
• From the same POV, 🖱️ can be used to refer to something you are personally attracted to; it can be a hobby, a job, a book, etc. For instance, "The first moment I read that first page, it just clicked 🖱️. I knew I wanted to read the damn thing forever".
• While indicating the function or action of 'clicking' on something, 🖱️ is a must. Like, "Click here to read more! 🖱️".
