NEW RULE: Any Youtuber who uses a large ARROW on the "thumbnail" image will not get my click. [View all] QueerDuck Nov 6 OP
Most of the 'click bait' videos on youtube are AI generated calguy Nov 6 #1
There are a lot of them here too. From (once) respectable content creators... QueerDuck Nov 6 #2

Excellent point... I had not thought of that. But you are CORRECT! QueerDuck Nov 6 #9
I despise those .... NeoTrajan Nov 6 #3
30 seconds of content and 10 minutes of useless blabber lol. most are basically click bait IMO msongs Nov 6 #4

It makes DU's Home Page look like an absolute joke. flvegan Nov 6 #10

I really hate those "DOCTORS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS IMPORTANT LIFE HACK!" things. Aristus Nov 6 #13

New rule for you. But understand that we must play to win. I give credit to Meidas Touch and other liberal Youtubers. tulipsandroses Nov 6 #16
And we're all the worse for it. It's important to have higher standards and set a good example. No? QueerDuck Nov 7 #18
Podcasting is a different animal than newscasting. tulipsandroses Nov 7 #21
Rewarding idiots simply because they are "loud" makes zero sense to me. We need to be smarter, not "louder". QueerDuck Nov 7 #22
I have been ignoring a lot of posts with red squares lately... Wounded Bear Nov 6 #17
