Depends on the context I suppose.

"Bruh, are you unable to comprehend that the link you posted is mere clickbate? Surely this implies you lack the ability to digest the information provided by the content provider" would be an insult.

"Excuse me fine gentleman, the content of the linked article does not fit this article's headline, it may be considered clickbate" would be more an advisory to those would might click on it in haste, unaware of the danger that there is bullshit on the other side, based on subjective interpretation.

Ah, but these things were not said. A single noun was written. Not even punctuation to end the sentence.

I believe that this comment must be taken as a statement. I guess one could still take a statement as an insult if it goes against their own judgment.
