…Have you never watched Technology Connections before? None of his videos are clickbait. Quite the opposite, the entire video is about whatever is in the title.
So? It’s still a clickbait tactic, same with the idiotically capitalized words a lot of channels use, or the shocked faces. Just because you are unaware of the psychological manipulation of clickbait tactics, does not mean this goes for everyone.
I just generally have an aversion towards clickbait of any kind to the point where I can’t stand any video / channel using it. It’s cheap and manipulative and everyone supporting such shady tactics is someone I don’t want to associate with in any form.
I don’t watch clickbait videos.

No. And I literally see two fat arrows in the thumbnail. That’d be an instant block if that would land on my YT page.
The two big arrows pointing to the awnings, the things the video are about and that are in the title? Huh?

I dunno what to tell you it’s by definition not clickbait. You could argue that it’s teasing or engagement baiting I guess but it isn’t clickbait.
You shouldn’t judge a channel purely by thumbnail. Everyone else in this thread can attest to the high quality of his videos.
