    I share your frustration, but YouTube offers you a choice: use honest titles and suffer at the hands of the algorithm, or use clickbait and get access to a much wider audience.

    If the creator needs to use clickbait in order to have the funding to produce higher quality videos, I find it hard to hold them personally responsible for the systemic issues of the platform.

      And that’s fine, I just won’t watch those videos. The channels I tend to watch have pretty clear titles, e.g. Gamer’s Nexus and Digital Foundry are awesome.
