Clickbait

Clickbait is a term used for videos that use misleading titles and fake thumbnails to reel in a braindead audience so the user can make YouTube jewgolds without any effort. Clickbaits are also used for internet news articles and porn sites. Most of these clickbait videos are either TL;DW or some idiot catering to his own biased personal agenda and wants everybody browsing the interwebs to see.

Due to unfunny degenerates like Pewdiepie, there are no longer any good reasons to make any sort of quality effort on YouTube, it doesn't matter how much effort you put into one video, it always gets surpassed by some Swedish man-child screaming at a Steam early-access game. Instead, YouTubers now use the old trick of clickbait. This clickbait has been around for at least 100 years on the net and has resulted in hate for that specific admin, but it has never been used quite as much as of 2014 where games "journalists" use their talents on creating luring titles like "How Animal Crossing Triggered a Rape Flash-back" or How I toke it in the ass from Kane and Lynch.

Clickbait Trolling

<video type="youtube" id="DBafI0p3Px8" width="150" height="100" desc="Exhibit A" frame="true" position="right"/> <video type="youtube" id="V5BQAqtXBCU" width="200" height="150" desc="Exhibit B" frame="true" position="right"/> Clickbait can be easily used for trolling, let's say, the dim-witted YT-users who look for sum pr0nz on JewTube. Just attach an almost-porn thumbnail to your shitty video (for the extra lulz rename it like "How did I fuck my own sister" or "Fergie spreads her vagoo on webcam omg look") and enjoy misguided faggots' butthurt comments and shitloads of dislikes.

Note: you must have a partnership program to do this UNLESS you're using this technique to become a YouTube partner and then you grab the moneyz.

Clickbait Responses

Although clickbait is annoying, it can be quite lulzy when it results in butthurt from across the web. People are thankfully decent enough to call out on these "journalists" and shit all over their smug faces, on the other hand however, people often accuse websites of false clickbait if they give a bad review to some shitty game they like.

Facebook vs Clickbait

Mark Fuckemburg is also sick to death of clickbait as well. Facebook is helping you to stop greedy jews from using your ass so they can get food on their table, but thankfully Facebook is stopping those religious assholes and is now forcing them to starve to death to pave way for a better internetz.
