Clickbait headlines like this should be flagged

Just because you misunderstood what the article was about does not make it clickbait. The article answers the question in the title in a generalized way and I did not interpret it the way you did on first read.

The headline is supposed to tell us what the article is about. If we only understand after reading the article, the headline has failed.

In what way does the current title not do that? The post explains how the energy market works and answers the question somewhat literally:

> Confusingly, the flow of power isn’t really controlled on a line-by-line basis or sometimes even on a system-by-system basis. Power flows where it flows once it’s released on the grid, and there’s no simple way to keep track of who made it or who bought it at individual points on the network.

The answer being "you can't really know" which isn't always true but in general is correct.
