I started to write a script for a video about how clickbait have really damaged the platform, clickbait taking it to the point the make the creators says “it’s okay, we need monetize, we need to catch your attention somehow, this is the only and the good way”, and I need to make some field research gathering some people opinions about it (I going to ask to some people IRL too). So what do you think? Feel free to answer any of the questions below, and add whatever come to your mind, everything it’s appreciated.

  • Do you use youtube mainly?
  • Do you care about clickbait?
  • Did clickbait make you stop seeing some creator?
  • Did you use youtube but clickbait (among other things) made you to stop using it’s platform?
  • Do you think clickbait is the major of the YouTube’s problems?
  • Do you see something good in clickbait among the bad things? Like, which ones?
  • Could we see clickbait as a necessary evil?

Thanks again! Have a nice day.

Edit: format added to the questions.

    • Do you use youtube mainly? Daily, but secondary to Twitch
    • Do you care about clickbait? Nope
    • Did clickbait make you stop seeing some creator? Clickbait that are lies damage my opinion of a creator, clickbait that’s honest is irrelevant
    • Did you use youtube but clickbait (among other things) made you to stop using it’s platform? Still use YT
    • Do you think clickbait is the major of the YouTube’s problems? Nope, discoverability, live streaming, and comments are all bigger imo
    • Do you see something good in clickbait among the bad things? Like, which ones? Only negative is when it is intentionally deceptive.
    • Could we see clickbait as a necessary evil? It is as necessary as all advertising is, if it’s honest, fine, if not, then no.
