clickbait

There’s some YouTube channel that adds “Official trailer” to their thumbnails and they mean “their official fan made trailer” and it’s annoying and misleading. YouTube has a “don’t suggest” option on channels but they need a block.

Fan made trailers need like a [Parody] tag or something, imo

Not my jam, but I don’t consider them clickbait unless they’re being pushed as real trailers to… bait for clicks.

I mostly see them as a hobby other people enjoy. I’m happy they’re happy, but it doesn’t interest me. The surge of AI generated slop is different; those are clickbait, not fan-made.

I don’t even like or watch regular trailers. Poster and synopsis is good enough.
