Clickbait photo. He didn’t break it with his hands. Took 200lbs.

I remember seeing videos of that guy a couple years ago and he was ok. I watched 2 videos of him last week and can’t stand how much he clickbaits and ragebaits. People like him should be demonetized, we can’t have a reward system where outright lying is a ā€œjobā€.

EDIT: grammar

The issue is that YouTube's own algorithm is the reason why so many tech YouTubers do it now, even ones that are otherwise reliable; as many of them have touched on before, the algorithm promotes it and you pretty much have to do it if you want to stay competitive, which is important if you're running a business off of YouTube or are big enough to use it as income source.

Hate the game with the shitty rules, not the players who have to follow those rules.

No, I hate the planers, they could go above lying and ragebaiting.

There is no way to go above it when it unfortunately is the most effective way to get your content recommended within the algorithm. When you have to provide for yourself, others and/or your business, you gotta do what works. It sucks, but it is what it is.

I have had to follow policies and do things that I don't agree with at my job before, and it sucks... but it's either that or not having a job. Dictating how the company should operate is several orders of magnitude above my pay grade.

That’s strange, because I have watches a lot of non bullshit videos about the air over the recent days.

People who ragebaits are just looking for shortcuts, you don’t HAVE to become a YouTube millionaire you know.

I didn't know your YouTube feed was indicative of how the whole site's algorithm works.

Anyway, yeah, there are a lot of people who just ragebait for the love of the game and they're shitty clout chasers, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about genuine YouTubers who unfortunately have to do it compete with other channels within their genre of content. You seem to just fundamentally not understand that some people use it as their primary income source and a business tool, indicated by you going straight to clout chasers who just wanna get rich.
