5 Easy Ways To Get Rich Fast!
8 Instant Ways To Look More Attractive!
Lose Weight Fast & Easy!
We humans try to act smart, but at the end of the day we are all simple creatures with
a bad case of FOMO.
Chances are you probably clicked on this video because we promised you something unbelievable
or because of the boobs on the thumbnail.
For this list, All Things Top 5 looks at the clickbait tricks that work and how YouTubers
sucker you in to watching their videos!
Number 5 Criticize Something Popular.
One thing we can all agree on, social media thrives on disagreements.
To get more views, a YouTubers will state an unpopular opinion on something popular,
also known as Hate-Baiting.
This tactic will get people who are both for and against the opinion to click on the video.
For example, call Beyonce an overrated entertainer who can’t sing and watch the hate views
rack up.
This strategy is the equivalent of farting in a public elevator and watching everyone’s
reaction.
Number 4 Misleading Titles.
Have a title that says one thing, but have a video that shows something else.
One of the most popular clickbait videos on YouTube was the story of a young YouTuber
giving a ridiculously overdramatic recount of a near fatal plane experience.
With a thumbnail of a plane going down in flames, a title saying “I Almost Died In
A Plane Crash!”, and an image of her terrified face, just ended up being a story of a young
girl flying through some turbulence.
With almost four hundred thousand views, the actual title should have been “I Flew Through
Some Turbulence and I Was Scared AF.”
But that wouldn’t get you the views!
Number 3 Do Something Outrageous – In other words, do a prank video so outrageous that
it’s actually a felony.
A 20-year-old YouTuber fed Oreo cookies stuffed with toothpaste to a 52-year-old homeless
man while saying “Maybe I’ve gone a bit far, but look at the positive side: this will
help him clean his teeth.”
The video reportedly made almost $2500 in advertising revenue, before being removed
from YouTube amid public outrage and a police investigation.
The Barcelona YouTuber was charged with a crime against moral integrity and could face
2 years in prison.
Number 2 Saying *Not Clickbait*.
Step 1: YouTuber appeals to your emotion with a life changing event.
Step 2: Insert sad and distraught image of said YouTuber.
Step 3: Say “Not Clickbait” in the title.
Step 4: Turns out video is clickbait.
Emotions are another big reason why people click on a video.
By using emotional thumbnails, the YouTuber is creating a response and a need for a person
to watch their content.
Viewers have caught on to this trick, so YouTubers are reassuring us that their video is not
a clickbait like all those other filthy liars on YouTube by saying “NOT CLICKBAIT” right
in the title.
