I’m sure these freak events really happened, but it seems irresponsib(ru)le to make people feel like this might happen to them, just for views
Update: I have hidden channel names in the interest of letting people know this is criticizing the tr(ul)end, and not any specific YouTubers
Edit: If you’re here to discuss any particular YouTuber, please scroll down. I’ve already had this discussion, and I have nothing more to consider or add regarding this derailment. I’ve fixed the problem by posting an edited image. Thank you so much!
In my experience, clickbait makes wild claims, that don’t show up in the video, or are drastically overstated. Like, if he said “dog lick sends man to hospital with multiple organs failure” and then yeah, he was licked by a dog then ate some arsenic, that’s one thing. That’s clickbait. Implying a weird thing caused the issues, when it was really just arsenic. The dog lick directly leading to it, though, is a different story.
Again, scroll down, and have a good day.
