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.
@tbss @eddiecsilva It never is clickbait though, on my channel. Not in the sense that the contents of the video don’t match the title: you always get exactly what the title says.
Now if we use clickbait to say « it’s voluntarily a bit mysterious to incite a click », then yes, of course it is, it’s YouTube, if you don’t do it, might as well not publish a video at all.
@tbss @eddiecsilva Ah yeah, it can be tough to write news titles. I try to put 3 in each one, but sometimes that’s too long, and it might also make the video less « clickable » rather than having just one big item.
I know Linus Tech Tips does it this way as well, just 1 big item per news video in the title.
