- jerf 6y agoHe clickbaited me but good on that one, but it delivered the goods.

He actually made a great video a while ago explaining why professional Youtubers don't have much of a choice when it comes to clickbaiting with titles and thumbnails, because it's the only way to reliably get lots of impressions and views and grow their channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHsa9DqmId8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHsa9DqmId8 It made me gain a bit of empathy for creators using these tactics on Youtube and tolerate it as long as it's not being used to promote content that's devoid of any substance, which is pretty much never the case for Veritasium videos or any of the other educational channels I subscribe to.
- jerf 6y agoYes, I understand and agree. It makes me sad as well but I've made my peace with it. Nevertheless, I commented about this one in particular because when I saw the title card, I legitimately thought, even having seen many of his videos, that he couldn't possibly deliver on that. He got me; he did. I was impressed.
