Clickbait is bad and you should never resort to it

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. Examples include "THIS WILL MAKE U BAWW" or "If u dunt click dis ur gay!!1" or "One Weird Trick to Get You to Click This Link".

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. This applies for news articles as well, keep clicking through that shit though, you'll find a good one eventually!

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.
