YouTube clickbait is out of contrule
(i.postimg.cc)
I'm sure these freak events really happened, but it seems irresponsib(ru)le to make people feel like this might happen to them, just for views
Update: I have hidden channel names in the interest of letting people know this is criticizing the tr(ul)end, and not any specific YouTubers
Edit: If you're here to discuss any particular YouTuber, please scroll down. I've already had this discussion, and I have nothing more to consider or add regarding this derailment. I've fixed the problem by posting an edited image. Thank you so much!
These aren't a thesis, they are YouTube videos. None of these titles are meant to instill fear. They are meant to capture interest. That's not the same thing.
If someone is afraid to let a dog lick them after reading these titles but not watching the content of the video, that reflects more on them than it does these titles.
...by creating FUD. This is textbook YouTuber stuff. The video is probably also monetized, to add another layer of ethical grayness.
