If you use YouTube in any capacity,
you've probably seen on the platform
4
:
titles to videos that look like something
completely outrageous or something
5
:
completely different
6
:
than what the video is actually about,
and these are known as clickbait.
7
:
Sometimes these are just designed
to pull your eyes into the video,
8
:
and it does talk to some extent about what
the headline might claim and others
9
:
are completely out there.
10
:
YouTube is a platform is great
because anybody can post their material,
11
:
but with this also comes
the ability to post fake material or stuff
12
:
that is a little bit off
of what the reality might be.
13
:
And this causes
myths and rumors to go through.
14
:
And this clickbait type marketing is
used to get you to look at those videos.
15
:
This week here on User Friendly 2.0,
we're going to look into the top
16
:
ten clickbait videos that we can find on
YouTube just by doing a search and talking
17
:
about some ways where you can figure out
what's real and what's not.
