I am getting more of a chuckle out of the person’s “I have made up my mind based on nonsense and no amount of real information will change it!!”
That is a wild stance.
Comment on Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about
guy8748@lemmy.world 5 months agoThe two big arrows pointing to the awnings, the things the video are about and that are in the title? Huh?

So? It's still a clickbait tactic, same with the idiotically capitalized words a lot of channels use, or the shocked faces. Just because you are unaware of the psychological manipulation of clickbait tactics, does not mean this goes for everyone.

I dunno what to tell you it’s by definition not clickbait. You could argue that it’s teasing or engagement baiting I guess but it isn’t clickbait.
DarkThoughts@fedia.io 5 months ago
No. Engagement baiting is, for example, purposefully stating a wrong fact or pleading people to write comments in other ways, like wanting to talk about the contents of the video while having no intention to actually read any comments, let alone talk to anyone.
Any element that is enticing you to make you click on a video, like an obtuse headline, or idiotic shocked faces, or arrows / circles / boxes of various colors, are all clickbait tactics.
