For titles, I think the most recent one is very fair. If it were big bait, you'd see a lot of downsides. I believe AB's influence is killing Blizzard dev's ability to ship the game they want to, and I've heard enough to have a high enough confidence to make it the core of a vid.

So in this case, the thesis of the video is quite literally the title. Is it clickable? Absolutely, won't deny that. Is it lying about the content, or exaggerating? I don't think so at all. Personally, I can't wait for the changes at the end of this vid to be implemented.

Heh that could be an interesting discussion to have on a podcast one day. I know that video from Veritasium, I've been following the channel for a while. But it doesn't feel the same to me... I'll be honest (to my shame) : (cont)

I actually unsubbed from both the news and WoW channel over the summer, because it was getting so much that it was making me feel bad. Might be a problem with me more than you, but I do feel that you're playing in the crowd of Angry YouTube now. (cont)

I went to the channel now, and I admit the recent videos mostly don't fit my feeling on paper, but the click baityness just emphasizes the bad aspect IMO, and, I mean, look at the News channel vids... that is classic SEO / Angry / click bait. Isn't it? (cont)pic.twitter.com/54UFM3G4hp

So anyway I don't mean to harp on you and I'm sorry for high jacking that thread a bit. I'm sure it's very profitable and I'm very glad you seem to be making a good living out of it, but I guess what I'm trying to say is (cont)

the "bad" (as I perceive it) is overbearing the good, and that "bad" part has a lot in common with what is being discussed here. I know you feel your criticism is justified and that's totally legitimate, but every angry youtuber says that, it's always possibly to justify it. (ct)

It is not always about the core of the content, it's about how it is put together, what is emphasized, what the thumbnail is, how the TITLE uses FORMATING!!!... It plays on emotions in a way I feel that overshadows the rest. I don't think it's the same as Veritasium. Anyway... :/

If I could do what I do any other way, sure. But even take Tali titles. Like, on the WoW side, we ain't much different! Part is the YT beast & if I could title everything: Lets Talk About X & still do well enough, I would. Sadly, implications of that vertiasium vid are real.pic.twitter.com/buawM9Gxpr
