Misleading Titles...... *sigh

I've gotten used to it. I just close the video as soon as I realize the bait and switch and move along. Would rather not waste anymore time on the person. Have peace of mind in knowing that is is HIGHLY unlikely anyone is going to achieve anything on YouTube going this route (unless they have the content to back it up)
 
Really hate it when videos do the whole title that is completely untrue. For example: "MOST EPIC GTA 5 RACE OF ALL TIME!"

1. It's probably not
2. Opinions, dude.
3. Please, stahp.

That is my exact response, every time, in that order xD. It's ok once or twice and I understand why they do it, but it eventually becomes like a habitual type of habit for some people i've watched in the past and it bugs me.
 
I give 'em a thumbs down, and if it's particularly egregious, I leave a comment calling them out on it. I guess I should be reporting the worst cases.
 
I like all the fail videos that always look like some hot babe had wind blow up their dress, or their boobs accidentaly popped out in public or something sexually related only to of course, have none of that in the actual video. Those are probably the most misleading because hey, a boob popping out on live tv would count as a fail and a blooper.
 
missleading titles could be considered as fraud if its done at an extrem level.
But yea i get you. Many big youtubers out there have done it and some are still doing it......
 
It annoys me a bit when Shane Dawson does this, but I've come to realise to not expect anything that is in his titles. (Since 90% of his titles are clickbait)
 
I try to report them when I can but it's because of situations like this that I'm semi grateful for the retention ranking. Although it has its flaws since some viewers who don't know any better still fall for it.
