YouTube seeks to address the issue of misleading ‘clickbait’ by removing videos with titles and thumbnails that don’t align with the actual content
In a move aimed at improving user experience, YouTube has said that it will crack down on videos with deceptive titles and thumbnails, in India. This effort aims to tackle what is commonly referred to as clickbait -- a longstanding frustration for viewers who often click on videos only to find that the content doesn't match the expectations set by the headline.
Clickbait titles and thumbnails are designed to entice viewers into clicking on a video by promising something sensational or intriguing, often without delivering on that promise. These types of videos exploit curiosity and can mislead people into watching content that does not meet their expectations.
