The click bait thing is really annoying, and although it might create a bit of a spike in views, it’s a very short term view in my opinion. Reason being, if they’re always doing it, I unsubscribe from the clickbait gang altogether and don’t watch any of their videos, sure I’m not alone in this.Well of course, you're more likely to click on something that sounds interesting. It's when the video isn't as interesting as they made out that it becomes annoying. If they had a clickbaity title but then backed it up so the title was accurate, that would be fine. Tbh sometimes I just click the video to read the description and find out what the video is actually about, before backing out if I don't care - but I guess that's all they need.
If it’s a bit clickbaity, I’ll just let the preview roll for a bit and read the subtitles, see if I want to watch the whole thing or not.
