What makes you click on a story in a promo thread?

The thumbnail and promo art if available.

The attitude. I less likely to check out with pure intention (as in, not cynical and mockingly) if the poster is treating it like the best/worst thing that have happened in the word. People say praise your work in your promo yet that does not work for me, my mind will go "Huh? What makes you so confident if it is that good? If it's not it's false advertising you know? You are deceiving people!" But people who shit on their work too much in a certain manner makes me think they just want praises.

Note: I shit on my work a lot, but that is a joke and I feel uncomfortable if people console me because of that. It's like people calling themselves "dumb bitch" or something, they aren't being serious and it must be weird if someone say "No, you are not dumb" in a serious manner to that joke.
