  1. Just install the extension DeArrow and you won’t have to deal with clickbait again.

    This is going to put those spooky channels out of business since all their thumbnails have some kind of horrific ghost or something on it, and at most it ends up being a person in the woods or an animal breaking a stick and everyone freaking out and running away.

  3. Really missed the mark with this headline…. ‘Youtube is cracking down on clickbait that they dont want you to see’….’5 clickbait videos to watch before youtube bans them forever!’

  4. That’s going to eliminate like half of the videos on YouTube. I think they should focus on cracking down on scam and NSFW ads first, then tackle the annoying comment bots, and only then address this issue (if it’s even necessary).

    It used to be easy to avoid clicking clickbait when we had a thumbsdown button. 

  6. Someone call veritasium and have him do another stupid “clickbait be good because I use it”

  7. Can we also crack down on the shocked Pikachu face in every thumbnail? Thanks YT.

    How do they implement this and how can we be sure that this is not just excuse for censorship?

    Feels like when Onlyfans once announced to remove adult content…

  10. Scotty Kilmer must be shaking in his boots. “This is really the end.”

    “He’s packing it up for good. “

    If they start banning clickbait thumbnails there’ll be nothing left!

  12. Next crack down on those content creators that use those awful ai voices with subtitles that aren’t proofread.

    So, they want to stop click bait videos while injecting all the videos with adverts (videos) that are click bait?

    Where’s the open source alternative platform? Why are we still using YouTube?!

  14. WatchStoredInAss on

    They should immediately ban anyone who posts a thumbnail with a shocked face and open mouth.

    But they are completely fine with racism, fake news, spreading of anything right wing and what not. But “promises something that’s not in the video” crosses the line?
