the users do get paid though, although i'm sure it's a fraction of what youtube makes.
I'm sorry but I find this deeply comic and I can't stop giggle
At the same time, clickbait has always existed. There's a reason trash emerged from tv to become his own subgenre
The DeArrow extension "fixes" thumbnails on Youtube to make them less clickbaity. Sadly content makers have to do it if they want the blessings of the algorithm god.
