YouTube is ramping up its efforts to crack down on what it calls “egregious clickbait,” particularly in videos claiming to cover (or pretending to cover) news and current events. A couple of examples YouTube mentioned were a video title saying, “the president resigned!” where the video didn’t even address the president’s resignation; and a thumbnail saying “top political news” on a video that didn’t include any legitimate news coverage. Such videos often leave viewers feeling “tricked, frustrated, or even misled,” especially when they’re searching for reliable information on important issues, YouTube says. However, not everyone is adept at distinguishing between clickbait and legitimate content, and that’s where YouTube plans to step in. The crackdown starts ‘slowly’ in India in the coming months, though YouTube hasn’t detailed how or when it plans to expand enforcement to other regions. “As we continue to educate creators, our enforcement efforts will prioritize new video uploads moving forward,” YouTube concluded. YouTube has revealed its Top 10 Creators in the platform per country for 2021. YouTube has announced that it has reached more than 45 million adult viewers in the Philippines.
