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?

    Yes, though not through the website or app

    Do you care about clickbait?

    I don’t often see it as I use DeArrow, but if I do see it, I just move on unless it’s a video that interests me.

    Did clickbait make you stop seeing some creator?

    Kinda? Part of it was just getting tired of their style/growing out of it.

    Did you use youtube but clickbait (among other things) made you to stop using it’s platform?

    No, I still use it.

    Do you think clickbait is the major of the YouTube’s problems?

    I think there are bigger issues than clickbait on YouTube, such as the sex bots in comments and inappropriate ads

    Do you see something good in clickbait among the bad things? Like, which ones?

    I don’t see anything good in clickbait, but it’s not something real bad either. To me, it’s more of just something that exists and nothing else.

    Could we see clickbait as a necessary evil?

    It’s a subjective opinion and differs between people. I personally don’t see it as a “necessary evil”, but maybe someone else does.
