YouTube clickbait is out of contrule
(i.postimg.cc)
I'm sure these freak events really happened, but it seems irresponsib(ru)le to make people feel like this might happen to them, just for views
Update: I have hidden channel names in the interest of letting people know this is criticizing the tr(ul)end, and not any specific YouTubers
Edit: If you're here to discuss any particular YouTuber, please scroll down. I've already had this discussion, and I have nothing more to consider or add regarding this derailment. I've fixed the problem by posting an edited image. Thank you so much!
Yeah, I think some people got really distracted by the fact they saw the names of some YouTubers on the image. That's why I replaced it with one that obscured the user names.
I think their line of thinking goes something like: "I like this YouTuber, therefore they can do no wrong" -- which is really odd logic to me. Some people don't realize that actions can be bad without the person being bad overall.
The issue with calling specifically chubbyemus videos clickbait is that they're just NOT. His titles are accurate as to what happens in the medical case. The others? Yeah, probably actively trying to bait clicks from chubbyemus videos.
You're being dishonest if you're telling me that's not clickbait lol
I’ve only seen the obscured image and I knew immediately it was chubbyemu hahaha
The name of chubbyemu is almost triggering for me after the exhausting conversations I wound up in yesterday lol
Oh wait, new video title idea: "The name of this YouTube channel caused a man to lose his mind"
Hate to nitpick but that's not quite the formula
"A Lemmy user complained about a youtuber's video title formula. This is what happened to their brain."
You'll do well on YouTube!
