Sick of viral and exaggerated clickbait titles

[Piing]

"You have been playing it wrong all your life!!"
I don't care if the contents is good or not. I am not clicking.

I don't even watch vids anymore because of that. Fuck that stupid shit!

You Tube could fix this if they would only credit the uploader with an actual view, only if it was watched beyond a certain (not sure what would be a good length) amount of time.

Same

I don't watch react vids or unboxing vids or vids with a really dumb clickbaity titles. I also don't watch vids from people who just post their same vid on every forum just trying to get views.

Youtube's algorithm has figured out what gets the most views... it just hasn't realized those views are from 12 year olds with their mom's ipad

If it’s not the clickbait title it’s the thumbnail that turns me away immediately. Anyone with an open mouth and surprised look is an automatic skip.

OMG I hate clickbait titles too! So bad - and MOST of the time, I’ll not watch the video because of it. But sometimes, curiosity gets the best of me…

As long as Glen Fricker or Stevie T isn't involved; I'm golden.

I generally refuse to click on anything with a clickbait title.

The problem is that there are a few people who use them completely unnecessarily who actually do often have good content that I’d like to watch (looking at you Tim Pierce). That’s when I get conflicted on my resolve not to click on clickbait titles.

Making thumbnails and coming up with titles for youtube videos is my least favourite part of the process. I'm a glutton for punishment I guess.

You are one of the best. Even when you joke around in this manner; we know that you know that we know you're kidding.

I dig Henning Pauly. His vids get a bit long winded but very informative.

I understand that the title/thumbnail is very important and not that easy to make.

In the end it comes down to the content for me. If I like a channel I don't care for the title very much.
Most of the time I watch gear videos just as a form of entertainment.
