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. “As we continue to educate creators, our enforcement efforts will prioritize new video uploads moving forward,” YouTube concluded. YouTube has updated its desktop site so it now remembers how users sort videos on a channel.
