Fuckin exactly! The clickbait stuff just bubbles up from the ooze of losers. I hate that this stuff spreads so far so quickly so easily. You’d think that clickbait would have been dealt with in the late 2000s along side pop-ups and click hi-jacking, but no. Outrage sells so the eldritch horror that is the algorithm recommends it indefinitely. It’s so stupid it literally fosters the environment of harassment and potential violence YouTube claims to be against

I guess because harassment and violence translates to more drama and outrage for those profitable clicks! Grim as fuck.
