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!

ALL video titles on YouTube are now clickbait, doesn't really matter much who makes the content.

All video thumbnails now have these super annoying "amazing reaction" faces with some "OMG" text and an arrow pointing somewhere. It's everywhere and makes me for the first time want to stop using YouTube.

I know why they all do it, google wants it, because stupid people keep clicking that shit.

Yeah, it's really annoying. And it's spilled over onto mainstream news sites as well. So many things are presented as clickbait now.

The click bait made a recovery
