YouTube has announced an initiative to combat "egregious clickbait," focusing on videos where titles or thumbnails misleadingly promise content not delivered in the video itself.
The enforcement against misleading or irrelevant content is particularly focused on videos related to breaking news or current events as viewers seek timely information.
YouTube’s clear definition of egregious clickbait serves as guidance for YouTubers, highlighting that not all forms of clickbait are equally problematic and making distinctions between simple enticement and outright deception.
The recent announcement is a recognition of the prevalence of manipulative content on the platform, revealing the underlying distribution systems that incentivize such behavior.
