Social media is what it is. You can use click-baity titles or you can have almost no views. That's just the way it is, and you can thank human nature for that. People click on provocative titles and ignore calm ones. I didn't make the rules, and neither did these content creators. If you're going to scoff at the video and attack someone's credibility because you don't like the video title................ I don't even know what to say to that. |
I wouldn't take it too seriously. I'm the same way; those types of titles are an instant pass. And yes, I do think less of the source for resorting to them. Plenty of quality sources and content makers don't use them. And sure, maybe it's because they don't have to, but it's a little too much of an appeal to monetization for my taste.
Between two videos I'll click on the one that isn't sensationalized for attention.
