    Clickbait isn't necessarily bad, it depends on what it leads to.
    If the video/article has absolutely nothing to do with what is in the title then I'll agree it is annoying as hell.
    But there is also cases where I do appreciate the clickbait, for example if the title is making a specific claim/statement, just for the whole article/video then be devoted to debunking what is in the title.
