    what would likely make you click on a given video […] while fighting […] clickbait

    While most of the rest is true, clickbait makes you click, so it isn’t something YouTube necessarily wants to combat.

    Same with “rage-bait”, or content that you’ll click on just because it’s so preposterous that you’d want to criticize it in the comments.

    Both are trash, yet not against YouTube’s interests.
