    What’s click bait about it? The whole thing is about the words you were presented with. Click bait is tricking you with something other than it said it was going to be

        “content of dubious value or interest”. So no. This is not click bait.

        I care deeply about the topic and put a lot of effort into this video. If you’re not interested, that’s not the same

          Switch 2 has to get this right. What is this? User has to click to find out. Hence, clickbait.

          Not denigrating the work you did on the video or anything like that, just trying to explain why it fits in that category.

            Well I can’t fit a whole paragraph into a title. “This” is multiple things. It you want to know what “this” is, you’ll have to watch it. If you don’t care, then simply don’t click it

              I think people are just completely burned out on titles with an allusion to “this”. Maybe try something more like:

              “What Switch 2 has to get right to be successful”

              Although folks around here (myself included) tend to have an aversion to video content that should have just been a blog post or something.
