Youtube Click Baiting

There seems to be a trend lately of posts that are nothing more than click bait to some crappy youtube how-to post. The posts contain no useful content and are usually just filled with exclamation marks about how fantastic the information is. If you only just click! Take a look!! It's a secret that everyone should learn!!!

If you have something to say on the forums, say it. We don't need you posting click bait to increase your youtube traffic.

Report it as advertising and move on.

People are gullible. That's why this is even a thing. A little bit of skepticism goes a long way.

Maybe i somehow avoided it, but i don't see much if it tbh.

I see that on xivdb also instead of person saying where a item can be obtained there just a link to a video so I just move on not interested in watching a 4 minute video to find out where something is obtained from.
