    Just because my monkey brain falls for clickbait doesn’t mean that I want it.

    The MKBHD thumbnail is a perfect example of this. I really want to know what makes that phone almost perfect because I can’t fight my curiosity but when faced with an honest title like the one on the right which states that it’s just a review makes me realize that I’m actually not interested in it.
    And after clicking on a clickbait video and scrolling through it to check if it actually delivers on it’s promises I’m mostly left disappointed and will close it again.

    And I can’t just ignore all titles that pose a question like this because there are youtubers like technology connections that actually deliver on their titles promise in a thourough way.
