    Title is clickbait, because a sentence like that without context is alarmist.

    It’s not wrong, it’s mentioned and explained in the video, byt it’s still clickbait.

    The story here is Bloomberg fuckery and the copyright strike, not the imminent channel deletion.

      without context? context is in the video. or do you want titles that span 4 lines with 3 sentences?

        No, just be honest. “Bloomberg fradulent copyright strike on our black market documentary”.

        Still one sentence.

        I use a Firefox extension called Dearrow because of this understandable, but unfortunate trend.

        Why is it a big deal? Don’t you agree with Linus that clickbait is just part of the game, and we should accept the sensational thumbnails and titles? Hate the game, not the player and all that?

          Just because it’s being normalized by the Linuses and Tech Jesuses on youtube doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call it what it is.

          This video is click bait and the content is rather mid. We’re clearly supposed to feel some kind of outrage over a freedom of press kinda thing, but in reality the video is more like: waaah our ad revenue took a hit on this one video because of Big Evil Company abusing the copyright claim system, NOT FAIR! (Ignoring that this has been happening hundreds if not thousands of times per day for over a decade to much smaller channels than GamersNexus, without a peep from Tech Jesus on the issue).
