[Clickbait] "If everyone clickbaits, explain ____"
What people should actually be complaining about is misleading content, not clickbait.
Clickbaiting is a tool people use to attract an audience, clickbaiting can still be used while providing the info being clickbaited.

[Clickbait] My Experience
This part shows my video compared to @/Merl's video.
I used to yell at people like @/HappyPower for clickbaiting and how it was bad but then I realized how I was incorrectly using the word "Clickbait" when complaining about content.

[Clickbait] Final Thoughts
No matter if you like it or not, everyone under the sun clickbaits, it's just not mentioned until people dislike the person creating the video.
Creators, take "Clickbait" as a compliment. It means you're properly marketing your video.

P.S. This thread was made not because of anyone on my twitter but because I see content creators getting offended time and time again for being called out on clickbait, when everyone does it.
I also wanted to enlighten more people on what clickbaiting actually is.

OH one final note:
In the definition part, I didn't include the full definition, I meant to include the second part when I mentioned misleading content, but forgot to. The second part applies when clickbait is used to mislead the viewer, not when clickbait is just: clickbait.
