Clickbait is bad enough without removing one of the last few tools left in the arsenal to fight it.

Clickbait is bad enough without removing one of the last few tools left in the arsenal to fight it.
- oriki 5y agoI feel like we have different definitions as to what clickbait is - when I see a clickbait video, I can simply identify it by it's title and thumbnail, I've never needed to look at the like:dislike ratio to confirm that it's clickbait. What kind of videos do you find as clickbait?
- jjoonathan 5y agoAn interview where they spend 30 minutes off-subject and 1 minute on-subject. A tutorial with 10 minutes of detailed explanation and a "now draw the owl" step buried 3/4 of the way through. A thumbnail that promises a level of complexity, sophistication, or accomplishment that winds up never actually happening in the video. Content farms aren't the only ones in the clickbait game these days.
