So tired of people not knowing what clickbait is and accusing every title or phrase of being clickbait.

Hey, you don’t like the title? Cool. You don’t like what the title talks about? Sure. You don’t like that titles have to be short? I can dig that.

But unless the title is a gross misrepresentation of reality, or the content of what you’re going to watch or listen, it IS NOT CLICKBAIT.

@thelinuxEXP "the title made me click it. Therefore it's clickbait!!!"

Folks seem to lump any title that is enticing them as clickbait. When in the end it's just marketing, not a flat out lie or misrepresentation of the video. The definition of clickbait has really shifted over the years. Ugh :(

@ThatGeekZen Yeah, and sure it’s all clickbait: it’s designed to get you to click and watch the stuff.

Why it became a negative thing, I don’t know.
