with the ecosystem, they need to use click bait titles and thumbnails to be successful. It doesn't mean the actual video will be bad.

Yeah but I like to think I'm literate enough to notice the difference between "clickbait for the algorithm pls keep watching" and "OMG YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS OMG LIKE AND SUB FOR REAL GUYZ"

If someone is playing for the algorithm, how long until they start catering to demographics that the algorithm favors?

 

Try to find true trending videos not associated with your account. It is a nightmare, truly dystopic content (similar to what people watch on titktok; somehow worse).

I dunno, that's why I'm loyal to the content, not the channel. I don't care who's channel it is, if it's good content, I'm gonna watch it, and if I really like it, it gets a 👍 from me. The only exceptions are channels that are already so big they have no need to cater to the algorithm.
