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.

    I use youtube on a fire tv stick often enough. I do care about clickbait. Clickbait does cause me to not watch particular channels. clickbait did not make me stop I mostly just don’t watch it but its impossible to completely avoid. no clickbait is not the only problem, there is the often mocked video that does not get to the point until way deep in. I have not seen good clickbait. I do not see clickbait as necessary but stuff like that rears up in all sorts of media (movies were all the good scenes are in the trailer)
