So, I confess, I'm not sure what your goal is here.
You're not filtering out the click-bait content? You're just changing the thumbnail and title? But you still want to watch the video?
Um. Ok. Now you're wondering if this is valuable enough that others would pay for it?
For me personally, no. I tend to follow specific creators on YouTube, and their title & thumbnail don't matter to me.
I also watch a bunch of random content but a clickbaity yitle and thumbnail are useful signals in selecting what (not) to watch.
But good luck - there must be others out there who feel as you do. If you can find a few thousand of them, and they care enough to throw money at this problem, then you might have a nice little business.
- mattigames 3y agoA lot just use clickbait titles because financially it makes a lot of sense, a few have even show the numbers from their videos and clickbaity thumbnails/titles always bring more views, so yeah its not a useful signal of quality because we live in a capitalist society and its in their best interest to make money regardless of the quality of their content; another commenter just told me about dearrow (https://dearrow.ajay.app/ https://dearrow.ajay.app/), a chrome extenstion that crowdsources better titles, that seems even like more effort than I was thinking, as my idea is to use AI, so there is defintely some interest in the feature, but perhaps dearrow already fills that need.
