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.

    As a video platform yes, yes, yes, no, no, no, no

    Sometimes I open clickbait. Sometimes I skip clickbait when it would have potentially interested me otherwise because it’s clickbait.

    Most of the time clickbait prevents me from making a reasonable judgement about what the comment is and whether it would be interesting to me or valued by me.

    I guess clickbait is a big issue for the positive health of the platform, but certainly not the only one.
