@gamingonlinux @thelinuxEXP Every title is clickbait, sort of. The question is, if it is misleading and have enough information?

But on the other hand, you don't have to agree on his opinion that its clickbait too! What I don't agree here is, how he lays it out, making it a bigger problem that it is and coming of so negatively. As comments like him tend to be inflammatory.

But I can kind of understand both sides of you.

Tbh IMO click bait does not have to be misleading. It is just intentionally using a title that attracts clicks.

The only time clickbait is a problem, is when it is misleading.

People calling out a video for being clickbait are starting a meaningless argument.

I wouldn't call this clickbait:

Young adult white american male explaining how the desktop OS known as GNU/Linux came to have many distributions and why it is not that big of a deal

This I would consider click bait

Linux Fragmentation isn't a problem! Here's Why!

If the video does exactly that then it isn't misleading.

I'm specifically targeting you with this, these are just generic titles for a common video that's made. But my point is, ofc it's clickbait. It has to be due to the #YouTube #algorithm. But also, its often shorter

People calling clickbait are just adding engagement to your video.
