Journalists write articles, editors write headlines. These two roles have different motivations, but it doesnt mean a editor making a clikbait title detracts from a reporter’s journalist integrity.
Reporting can 100% be clean and fair even with bad headlines.

Not when most people just read the headlines, and the headlines are often biased and misleading
People’s habits have nothing to do with a journalist’s quailty of work. A fine article not read is still a fine article.
A fine article is less likely to have a clickbait headline than a clickbait article is. So it’s a decent correlation.
“Reporting can 100% be clean and fair even with bad headlines.”
This is the part I disagree with. People are very often misled by bogus clickbait headlines.
