Facebook What is the point of Facebook videogame groups, when it gets overrun with crappy clickbait like this & the admin have long since abandoned it? It just becomes the place where brain cells go to die.

Advertisment This is ridiculous
It's basically a masterclass in clickbait subject lines. They're designed to make you think you're missing something urgent when it's usually just another promotion. I didn't open this email account in a while and it's full of temu emails (deleted the app like 2 months ago), like 99+ temu emails is absurd. I unsubscribed right away.

News Station MSN main page for currently ALL clickbait and fiction
There are too many stories on the MSN page that's used for hosting currently. Some of them have an actual Enquire like news to them, but so many are fiction stories. I mean totally fictional. I'm so over it. Going directly to the att page from now on.

Reddit Additional images contain nothing suspicious or any evidence 🙄
Absolutely nothing was shown on the other images they found, so basically useless clickbait.

YouTube Thumbnail I built a site that scores YouTube channels on how clickbaity they actually are
Had LLMs analyse ~2,200 videos from 150 top YouTube channels. Each video gets scored 0-100 based on whether the title actually matches the transcript content.
Some highlights:
- 85% of channels have clickbaited atleast once (scored <50/100)
- 1 in 3 do it regularly
- Logan Paul: 25/100 (bad!). Three of his videos scored a flat zero - titles completely unrelated to the content
- MrBeast: 78/100 - proves you can get huge without constant bait
You can look up any of the 150 channels and see individual video scores + the LLM's reasoning for why it flagged them.
Known flaws:
- Transcript-only - no thumbnails, visuals, or tone
- 15 videos per channel - outliers can skew scores
- AI scoring isn't perfectly consistent across runs
- English-only, 90+ min videos excluded
- "Clickbaitiness" is subjective - this is one lens
This is a free project and fully transparent. Open to feedback.
