    Clickbait works

    LTT has repeatedly done less clickbaity titles/thumbnails and their views are noticeably lower. The YT algorithm pushes clickbait a lot more than non-clickbait.

      It’s not really yt algorithm that pushes it. People click more on clickbait (duh) so yt sees more engagement so it shoes it more. Blame people, not youtube imo

        It’s a combination of both. Google pushes people into watching random shit rather than a curated feed of their subscriptions. It didn’t used to be this way. YT used to reward subscribers heavily but now creators are dependent on the algo for ~50% of their traffic.
