News Channel Strikes for Click Bait

[Koala_Steamed]

Just a little warning that Youtube is issuing strikes for click bait titles, thumbnails and tags. Have you ever done this or know of other channels that have misleading thumbnails?

Personally I think it was about time that they tackled the issue of clickbait title / tags and thumbnails, just means that users will have to make sure that everything is relevant to the video.

It's about time! Titles, thumbnails and everything else should describe the video, not just look for clicks!

THANK YOU YOUTUBE! THANK YOU. I think 70% of the youtube content will be deleted if they really do this xD

All the AMV channels are going to die now

Youtube is definitely not combating clickbait. I think they are only working towards getting rid of misleading titles or thumbnails. Clickbait isn't really a problem for people who have basic logical thinking skills.

The Problem is this part of your text "people who have basic logical thinking skills".
Many viewers have a problem with this^^

Hopefully this will help content creators now that there is some steps towards removing Click bait content, however I just hope that they don't put a dampener on 'creative' titles for entertainment value.

Pewdiepie does clickbait every video! It would be funny if he gets his channel terminated!

I don't agree with click bait videos or channels that regularly do it. It's basically false advertisement but that's my opinion.
