A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

what would likely make you click on a given video [...] while fighting [...] clickbait

While most of the rest is true, clickbait makes you click, so it isn't something YouTube necessarily wants to combat.

Same with "rage-bait", or content that you'll click on just because it's so preposterous that you'd want to criticize it in the comments.

Both are trash, yet not against YouTube's interests.
