Comment on What the Switch 2 has to get right

  “content of dubious value or interest”. So no. This is not click bait.

  I care deeply about the topic and put a lot of effort into this video. If you’re not interested, that’s not the same

    Switch 2 has to get this right. What is this? User has to click to find out. Hence, clickbait.

    Not denigrating the work you did on the video or anything like that, just trying to explain why it fits in that category.

      Well I can’t fit a whole paragraph into a title. “This” is multiple things. It you want to know what “this” is, you’ll have to watch it. If you don’t care, then simply don’t click it

        I don’t do clickbait so you have fun with that.

        I think people are just completely burned out on titles with an allusion to “this”. Maybe try something more like:

        “Here’s what Switch 2 has to get right”

        Although folks around here (myself included) tend to have an aversion to video content that should have just been a blog post or something.

    You are missing part of that definition the full definition is as follows

    something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest

    A clickbait does not have to have information that contains dubious value or interest, it just frequently does.

    You could make it seem let’s click baity by removing the question part of the title, have the title be a statement instead of something that forces the reader to have to try to answer the question.
