"content of dubious value or interest". So no. This is not click bait.
I care deeply about the topic and put a lot of effort into this video. If you're not interested, that's not the same
Switch 2 has to get this right. What is this? User has to click to find out. Hence, clickbait.
Not denigrating the work you did on the video or anything like that, just trying to explain why it fits in that category.
Well I can't fit a whole paragraph into a title. "This" is multiple things. It you want to know what "this" is, you'll have to watch it. If you don't care, then simply don't click it
I don't do clickbait so you have fun with that.
You are missing part of that definition the full definition is as follows
A clickbait does not have to have information that contains dubious value or interest, it just frequently does.
You could make it seem less click baity by removing the question part of the title, have the title be a statement instead of something that forces the reader to have to try to answer the question.
Please note that I'm referring exclusivley to what the title of this post is, the actual video linked seems to have a good title because it's very clear going into it when it's going to be about. The linked videos title is kind of clickbait but I think since it ends with rumors and speculations and it's very clearly showing an opinionated background that is fine.
That being said, I liked the video, thank you for it.
