You can click bait with a positive score, but it's not nearly as effective as a negative score. I used to write for a website where this tactic was commonly used. This was before Metacritic's time, but our scores were on GameRankings and affected the scores of many games.

Never personally partook in that, but was accused of it a couple times due to low scores.
