Litterally the second paragraph:
...as more retailers downplay its significance as just another Christmas shopping day...
and again later:
often still offering the especially steep discounts to lure customers but also on the day before and, in Walmart’s case, online for the first time.
implying that Black Friday will be spread into the days and week surrounding it, thus killing off Black Friday.

Well, I disagree with this, but I understand that with that opinion the title could be seen as click bait. When I asked the question, I was wondering exactly this; I saw a well sourced, interesting article, while typically "click bait titles" implies pointing to a listicle or some article with little substance, neither of which The Conversation has ever been guilty of.

That is an entirely different title than "Why-2016-may-be-the-last-time-we-see-Black-Friday"
I have no problem with this, as I could easily see someone shout plagiarism or laziness had they not changed the title!
Thanks for answering, it's enlightening seeing others' opinions.
