What u think of clickbaits? (1 Viewer)

Do you get angry if you get clickbaited to video/article/thread or don't u care?

I usually get bit upset and just click away being mad at myself at being fooled but sometimes the clickbaits are pretty clever puns so i don't rly mind those so much

A bit, yeah. I usually don’t click tbh, I just expect something shitty most of the times

Sometimes it's funny clickbait where I'm not mad but sometimes it can just be really annoying

 

[Yili]

It can be annoying if it's to anger people but sometimes I enjoy funny clickbait

 

[Ahsoka]

I hate most of them

 

[Michael]

I find some of them funny; some others annoying.

Usually it's a case of "I'm not mad just disappointed"

I'm not into YT clickbaits, usually from vloggers (i.e. "HE WAS SO MAD HE KICKED ME OUT!")

I just don't subscribe to those channels. lol But I do get SO ANNOYED when the video title is something drastic and the video isn't even that serious. Like, back in 2018 (?), the LaBrant fam (they were Cole&Sav at the time) posted a video entitled "Our dog needs surgery". I clicked on the video... turns out it was just a freaking NEUTER procedure he needed. I mean, I can see where people might deem this a critical surgery, considering the overpopulation of pets, but REALLY??? At least rephrase the dang thing: "He needs to be neutered" or whatnot!

Another case of this is whenever a YouTuber is pregnant and they suddenly post something like "Sad news" or some other negative title that could pertain to the pregnancy. In this instance, I'd actually be relieved for it to be clickbait because that would mean the baby is still okay... but again, FUCKING BE SPECIFIC ABOUT IT! "Sad news about the new house", "Sad news about a beloved relative", "Sad news about our cat" - is that too much to ask???

I get annoyed especially if I read too much into it and the title ends up being misleading

Yeah I usually find them annoying and get a little upset.
