> "build some tension up by hinting at a certain conclusion of the video, then simply ending the video before it comes to that conclusion and leave the viewer clueless" These videos are certainly pervasive - they are an attempt to trigger reactions to show that you like this content: for example, by getting you to watch through the end of the video, click on the creator's name for follow-up content, checking the comments for clues. You can understand the videos as an attempt to game the algorithm, and I also think they are playing on themes which humans are genuinely addicted to and find it hard to fully control. Long click will allow you to 'remove content from this creator' (excuse my translation): that will help.
