U6SPOILERS,Youtubers are wasting no time to post clickbaits

Post by successoroffate » Thu Jan 21, 2016 2:36 pm

Less than 24 hours and the clickbaits are going strong:

Also, the saiyan character from U6, who we just got a name from.... already has a Blue Form according to Youtube so go figure.

I find it hilarious that the one where Frost looks like Cooler, is the same picture some youtubers used for Freeza's "New Form" before Golden Freeza was revealed.

These kinds of titles get a lot of views from fans who don't know where to read the manga or find out about it's details so If you want views this is the way to do it.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

By using misleading thumbnails, right?

Some of those aren't necessarily "bad" clickbait, such as the "U6 Frost Theory" video, since that one tells you that it's a speculation video. It doesn't have a stupid or misleading title, which is what I usually shake my head at. The picture of Frost in the thumbnail is obviously fake and is probably trying to draw in viewers, but I wouldn't call that bad since again you know the intention of the video from the title.

"DRAGONBALL SUPER: NEW ENEMY MUCH STRONGER THAN GOLDEN FRIEZA! WHO COULD IT BE?!!" Is more along the lines of a cringe worthy piece of clickbait.

I remember seeing a video a while back where someone put "New God of Destruction Wainu" in their title or something along those lines. Then there was one that was "Beerus kills Champa". That is the stuff that irks me.

Clickbait isn't a bad thing by itself as long as you do it tastefully in my opinion. The title is more important to me than the thumbnail, even if the thumbnail is awful and obviously using fake images. Clickbait is never going away though, as many people still click on and watch these videos all the time. Even I've done it once or twice for a laugh or two. All you can really do is shrug your shoulders, report the video(?), and just kind of move on.

As Kamiccolo says though, its probably better to not give them any extra views or attention. The topic of click bait itself is interesting and cool to talk about, but I try my best these days, as most people should, to not even give specific people the curiosity click. It's not my intention to call you out or anything like that, just saying that attention is exactly what they want and they don't seem to care how they get it.

Yes, unfortunately.

Make video titled "Broly confirmed for Super" and you'll probably get over 10000 views in less then a week.

I saw one of those that had a picture and all and SSJ 4 right next to Broly.

Most DB youtubers use false thumbnails for clickbait. I see so many bad fan art thumbnails that I don't bother watching the video.

One thing I've noticed lately is that on some thumbnails there will be red rings around something as if it's like some secret thing they've found in the picture but no it's just there for clickbait reasons.

Eh, stuff like this is pretty common with... well... every popular shonen anime on YouTube.

Some of those videos are more for speculation though. But including fan art isn't something I like, some people can't distinguish between them.

As much as there are many DBZ related Youtube channels that are just in it for the views so they post misleading titles and crazy thumbnails, there are channels out there that do post legit material. There are those that do their homework, support Kazeenshuu, report the truth, and are habitually against clickbait channels. But unfortunately, the bad outweigh the good in the Youtube Dragonball world.

Shoutout to Geekdom 101, Qaaman's Land, Blackenfist, and a few others. Those are the ones that put the effort in to try and present interesting DBZ related topics with a thorough analysis.

People are going to be let down if they are hoping for another Coola type of design for Frost's transformation. I expect a white and blue recolor of Golden Freeza.

I wouldn't use Geekdom. He's very biased and spreads lies and hate sadly. Even if I don't call him a clickbaiter, which he got upset for last time.....he's not one to listen to. Most youtubers kind of have the same mentality of "if you like gt or the dub you're not a true fan and should die!" So I'd avoid youtubers all together to avoid being misinformed and manipulated. It's a sees pool in the comments on all dbz videos sadly.

And the likes of double4anime is just as bad as geekodm almost. A lot of clickbaiting, even off Dragonball. Blackenfist doesn't clickbait or spread hate or lies, I don't agree with some of his videos but at least he's not being fake. Sad thing is most of the big dbz youtubers are RUINING the fanbase, and most are not even fans and just wanna manipulate fans for views and money. Disgusting.

It's funny that so many people are already saying Frost is Uni 6 Freeza and that he's so bad etc. Despite the chapter itself implying he's a good emperor. Also some people are saying that Freeza never existed in Uni6 since Cabba never heard of him but i find this untrue. At the end of chapter 7, when Vegeta says "FREEZA!?" Frost gives him and Goku that fierce look. That tells me that I think maybe Freeza did exist in Uni 6 and was a bad guy but Frost defeated him and despised him for being evil.

Nice theory. Or maybe he looked at him because he was talking about him. And the look was just a serious one because he was for the first time looking at his competition. he's undoubtably good, but I say he is the frieza of universe 6...the good version. He rules over saiyans with peace to save worlds instead of concur em! :D
