I suppose for a non clickbaity use of a question in the title, the article should be about the question not the answer. I would think an article about the (so far inconclusive) search for extraterrestrial intelligence headed by "Are we alone in the universe?" to be aptly, non-clickbaitily titled.

Ask HN: Is every headline just a Betteridge headline now? We analyzed 10M articles and found most questions don't need answers I built a classifier that tells you if a headline ends in a question mark for engagement We replaced all headlines with statements and traffic disappeared
