Whats Your Opinion on Clickbait?

Everyone has different opinions towards clickbait, I mean as long as the thumbnails doesn't have some absurd hot chick showing her cleavage and back off for no reason related to the video and the title is relevant to a video, it is acceptable. In my opinion anyway.
 
The sad thing to me is that so many small YouTubers think that it's something they're going to get views out of. I see so many titles where small channels say something about Grace Helbig or one of the other bigger YouTube stars, as if that star is in their video. It's just sad to me that people don't stand behind their own content enough to let it shine on its own.
 
i've unsubscribed to alot of channels who do this. I used to view their videos cos i liked their content but then they start doing clickbait titles. I especially hate lifestyle vloggers who post 20 minute videos and put a clickbait title. 19:45 minutes of their 20 minute video has nothing to do with the title and there is only 15 seconds of the entire video that is relevant.

In this day and age as a small channel click bait is vital due to certain SEO . If you're already at a decent size and still using major click bait there's really no point but I guess it works. I don't hate it.

I agree with this. I've used clickbait a few times and it has actually really helped grow my channel! As long as it's not TOO clickbait and actually has something to do with the video then I don't mind it!
 
As long as it isn't blatant clickbait, idc. Meaning if a YouTuber does it jokingly I don't mind.
