This was me with Linus Tech Tips, it's just not the content i subscribed for all those years ago.

Same. I was there when he was small, I cheered when he got bigger. Then the channel started going down a path I didn't want to follow. Click baity titles with no info were the last straw for me.

There's a browser extension to replace click bait by user-generated descriptive titles. I always forget the name tho. It also works with Freetube.

That doesnt really matter here, I'm against those practices. I would be ok however, if he had a different channel that posted videos without clickbait, which is not the case so... yeah

Yeah I know, I just jumped on the opportunity to promote that :)
