      Hi Dodie! As a viewer, I completely agree with the way you think about clickbait. I love the fact that there are still youtubers like you:D

  • @caitlinmissen
    @caitlinmissen 8 ปีที่แล้ว +127

    I totally agree with you, Dodie. I feel almost betrayed (strong word I know) when I see click bait titles and then the content is usually another boring q&a or video where the title is relevant to about 3 seconds of the entire thing. It makes me role my eyes and click straight off because it's a youtuber being dishonest. If I like the youtuber then I will go and find the information relevant to the click bait but for the most part I click off. A great example is trisha paytas, I used to love her videos but she is the biggest example of the boy who cried wolf that I can't watch because it's compulsive lying and click bait.

    • @caitlinmissen
      @caitlinmissen 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Just to add, I watched that video and wasn't at all annoyed at the click bait because I know you and Dodie are still best friends therefore there's not going to be big drama shiz going on people are being dramatic 🙄

      I feel the same way. I even unsubscribed from joey graceffa, because his titles annoyed the hell out of me. I still like him tho, i follow him on insta and twitter, but i'll probably never subscribe again :'(

    I'm actually with Dodie on this one. If I see a say 5-10 minute video with a title that I find interesting, and then it turns out to be a q&a, I often click back off it. If the title question is that interesting I want the whole video about it and a short answer to it feels very disappointing so I don't bother. I prefer when youtubers will at least put "Q&A" in the thumbnail. Doesn't even have to be in the title, just gotta have some indication of what the video is actually gonna be.

    • @aliceash396
      @aliceash396 8 ปีที่แล้ว +62

      Just to add, I would watch a q&a if it was titled or thumbnailed as such. But if I am expecting something else and it turns out to be a q&a I just don't really tend to bother because it's a bit of a disappointment.

    I do really agree with what Dodie says at 2:40. I feel like when a Q and A is titled with one question it is, honestly, a bit of a lie. I want to see a full video about something, not a one minute answer.

    • @astoldbyjordan2920
      @astoldbyjordan2920 8 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      THIS. I rarely watch Evans q&as because I enjoy his other videos more so when the title looks like it's going to be a sit down chat about something serious, I always get disappointed to hear "hi, welcome to another q&a"

    I don't like clickbait when they do it for every video and it's completely not even close to what the actual content is.

      I've only been watching him for literally a day and saw it as a joke i mean like i just assume something is clickbait when it's in all caps or has THE TRUTH or NOT CLICKBAIT or something of the sort like it's really easy to tell what's clickbait so why get mad over it when you like the persons content.
      for instance sourcefed and Philip defranco use a clickbait title and thumbnail for literally every video and i still enjoy going back and watching them cause i like what they make.
      i dunno i just saw nothing wrong with it and laughed my ass off when i got to that part of the video so i don't see what all the fuss is about.

    regardless of my opinion of clickbait, i rlly liked the whole "talk it out and respect each others' opinion" vibe of this video. so much drama (between both youtubers' and their fanbases) would be avoided if people sat down together and talked about their problems (which r usually either misunderstandings or, in this case, a minor conflict of morality) on camera. i hope this becomes the newest yt video trend tbh

    To those of you saying Evan would barely let Dodie speak and kept interrupting her: normally, I'd be slightly irritated as well considering how much I enjoy Dodie's content and would like her voice (and all women's voices) to be heard. However, I believe Evan kept interjecting because he felt the need to explain himself so his viewers would understand why he did what he did. I think he just wanted to get his point across so his viewers knew he wasn't trying to snub them, because I'm sure that's the last thing he'd want to do. Human nature I guess, to feel the need to explain yourself when you've mucked up a bit. Summary: I don't think it was out of a sense of entitlement, but rather the a bit of an impatient need to communicate to his audience.

    Honestly, I would prefer it if it was titled with the original title, but Q&A was also in the title. For people who aren't fully acquainted with upload schedules etc, it's far better, and gets rid of the possible trick that people may get.

    I think the main reason people freaked out about the clickbait title is because it's out of the ordinary. It's like the "bed of nails" idea. One nail will pierce the skin, but if you have enough, no one nail stands out. When I see a Philip DeFranco or Casey Neistat title with clickbait it doesn't make me worry because I know it's just going to be a normal video. When I see it on a channel that almost never has clickbait, it actually causes concern.

  • @shewhostalksthehedgehogs6804

    I'm with Dodie here - I hate when Q&A's have their title taken from just one of the answers someone gives. I click off too.

  • @lissiecook1158
    @lissiecook1158 8 ปีที่แล้ว +421

    I agree with Dodie... I just think if people make a Q&A, they should put Q&A in the title- I don't think I watched your "am I religious?" vid (sorry) because I didn't want to watch what I thought was a 10 minute video about your religion. Idk that's just me

    • @astoldbyjordan2920
      @astoldbyjordan2920 8 ปีที่แล้ว +45

      @Carina5707 8 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      @FaithsStardust 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I agree with all of you. I'm not really going to repeat what three of you commenters have already said but to add my part in....
      ...I was slightly disappointed when I clicked on the 'Am I religious?' video and saw it was a Q&A. What I have realised with other TH-camr Q+A's is that they often answer the question of the video title towards the end of the video, so what I usually do, is I skip past most of the video until the end to get to the bit I want. I understand why TH-camrs do it, but I find it annoying when it's not specified it's not a Q+A, so sometimes when i'm impatient, I wont even bother watch the video.

    • @FaithsStardust
      @FaithsStardust 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      To clarify though, I don't have a problem with click bait... click bait is inevitable to get your viewers in. Tv, Radio, TH-cam... its all advertising for a product so of course you're trying to get that attention....
      It's how you do it though. Are you promoting what the audience will be getting? Is it overused rehash? That's when the issues start.

  • @notsaro
    @notsaro 8 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    I never believed clickbait was honestly that bad as long as the video was quality content...TH-cam creators need to make money and get views somehow. As Evan said, Casey often uses it and yet most people don't mind.

    I don't understand why the consensus seems to be that Q&As are somehow less good content or boring and therefore that having "Q&A" in the title would get fewer views. I love Q&As! All the TH-camrs I watch make really interesting and entertaining Q&As. I even go as far as to seek out Q&As to watch. Is that just me?

    • @LaLemonie
      @LaLemonie 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I wouldn't say Q&A are less quality content, but knowing myself I don't watch them, because I don't enjoy them that much (same as challenges/tags for example). So as Dodie said, I see interesting title but when I find it's Q&A, I'll click away 90 % of the time. It's just a matter of a preference. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy other videos and segments that these creators make.

    • @Abelluck
      @Abelluck 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      I want to know I'm going to be watching a Q&A. I love them, and would love for 'Q&A' to be in the title. Otherwise, I am disappointed when I find that the video is a Q&A because I was expecting a video about the title.

  • @edannoteden2777
    @edannoteden2777 8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    sometimes I find clickbait on q&as annoying (like I do what dodie said, see something interesting, open the video, realize it's a Q&A and then close the video) but I'm fine if they add a clickbait title but add (Q&A) or something like that at the end. like what Emma Blackery does.

  • @localberry
    @localberry 8 ปีที่แล้ว +135

    here's one view: you said that in Q&As you had to title the video using one of the questions, but people don't KNOW that it is a Q&A if you don't say so. They click on it expecting to get a 9 minute video talking about religion or Dodie moving out, then there's less than a minute of that topic. I'm not saying there's a massive problem with clickbaity titles, but if you put #askevan or "Q&A" in the title of the video, then people would watch it without being disappointed that it wasn't a full video about that topic.
    hope you read this :)

      @leavingcomemorning 8 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      If a title really isn't that important in the first place, then why go to the trouble of making it so clickbait-y? I agree that the content is important, but I think it says something about the morality of the creator when what is represented in the title is not delivered within the content. As an audience member, I don't like being tricked into watching. If you're confident enough in the quality of your content, then you shouldn't feel the need to trick people into watching. There's a difference between pulling an interesting segment out of the video to use as an eye-grabbing title, and almost manufacturing something just to use as clickbait.

    • @Mishael2023
      @Mishael2023 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I knew it was click bait but half of me was still hoping it is but every time I fall for it I just think it's hilarious and it's not like the video was awful to watch, it was pretty interesting I enjoyed it.

    • @frostfang1
      @frostfang1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      if I'm not a full on subscriber to someone and I watch them casually, I do pay attention to the title. If it's subject matter that I'm interested in then I will watch it because I like that person's personality and the way they deliver the information. But not every video subject they put out interests me. And if they tend to use clickbaity titles or arnt clear on whether it's a Q&A or certain type of video I'm less likely to click or stay through the entire video. I don't know their schedule or check twitter etc. I mean, I don't really do that for channels I Am subscribed to. I don't pay attention to titles of people I'm subscribed to that I watch consistently, past a hint at the content or what game a let's player is playing and if I am up to date on that particular series. So titles are important, but less so when you are an avid fan versus just a casual fan.

    I really like when the title gives a teaser for multiple parts of the Q & A. For example: "Dovan's Flat, Relationaships, and Food! [Q&A]" Because that gives me a better idea of what the video is about, and helps me decide if I really want to watch. And each subject may only be addressed for a total of one min, but that's still 3 mins of a (let's say) 10 minn video, so I don't feel ripped off :)

    • @jennahj_
      @jennahj_ 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I consider clickbait to be a video with a misleading title. That's why it leads to disappointment, because the title sets up certain expectations in the viewer's head and then the video fails to deliver what the title promised. Usually clickbait does include an eye-catching title, but it's not so much about the title as it is about whether or not the title matches the content. (I had no problem with last week's video by the way, even though I am against clickbait. To me it was very obviously a joke because Evan doesn't do that kind of content.)

  • @emilyhenderson1740
    @emilyhenderson1740 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I agree with Dodie on this. I'm always a little disappointed when a video's title doesn't indicate that it's a Q&A, and then it is. I don't actively try to avoid Q&A's or anything, but I like to know what I'm signing up for. I get excited to see you talk about a certain topic for ten minutes, and then you spend about one minute on it.

      I mean... the way someone presents a piece of content (doesn't matter if it's online or offline) is ALWAYS a strategy, it's always intentional. Branding and marketing exist for a reason, if titles or design or presentation of any kind didn't matter to consumers I don't think we woud be having this conversation to begin with.

      Kelly LaFontaine But if you're not a regular to a certain youtuber videos then you wouldn't? Honestly I always watch Evan's videos and it caught me out that one as well. Granted it struck me out as a very obvious clickbait title before I watched it so when It was his Q&A I wasn't really surprised.
      Just think it wouldn't hurt to put (Q&A) in brackets after the click bait title.

    @nicolacampbell5118 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    My opinion is i guess for us viewers youtube is really special. You get to connect with a creator in ways that other forms of media just don't really allow. Your personality is shown throughout your videos and in turn this makes viewers have an opinion. When you get a regular viewer sometimes those feelings gorw and you develop his true care for the creator and yeah you start to trust them in ways. It feels almost like a friendship but obviously its not as strong as that for the creator because they don't see this ONE reaction they see so many so its like a collective group of people for you when its one for us. When someone uses clickbait specifically a youtuber you love and have developed this care for it almost feels like a betrayal in a way to us especially when it's a youtuber you didn't expect to do it. Honestly all i want is youtubers to be honest (no well it wasn't a lie stuff) about the content they have made. If it's a Q&A put that in the title or thumbnail as well as some

    • @nicolacampbell5118
      @nicolacampbell5118 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the things I like most about your videos Evan is that you are open and honest about your thoughts and feelings. This is why I think some of your fans are frustrated because we have watched and listened to your opinions and care about what you think of sensitive subjects so feel cheated when you don't pay much attention to the question you've posed like 'am I religious' I agree with dodie that I'd rather see a video labelled with a title that reflects what is in the video so I know what to expect. Or maybe just move the question in the title up to the front of the video so that you reward your viewers straight away rather than going off on so many tangents. Don't lose heart, I think you're pretty awesome so please keep doing what you're doing! Emma

    I don't mind clickbait as long as what they say actually happens...more often though it's like "GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT" and it's something totally BS like they walked into a parked car or something. I prefer honest titles. Dan Howell is a good example. He titles it what is, and the content speaks for itself.

    Evan, I think that you're sort of trivializing people's negative responses to that video. I disliked it. This wasn't because I couldn't appreciate your ironic title or because I wanted to hear some hot gossip. That's a little insulting, honestly. I disliked it because I didn't think that there was an issue with you and Dodie, I thought that you had both been very transparent about the whole thing. I got upset because the title made me concerned that there WAS something wrong between you and Dodie, but it was just clickbait. It's like when one of your friends makes you think they're hurt or in trouble and it's just a prank. Not cool. Don't get upset because some of us didn't think your joke was that funny, especially when it stemmed from a place of genuine concern for you both.

      I think this was ultimately my problem with this as well. I was genuinely worried that there was a problem between the two so I watched to the end (which I don't really do with most q&a videos.) so when I got to the end I realized Evan was just trolling, I was more disappointed I guess than angry. I didn't know that so many people we're upset by it but I can understand why. There's always a chance for clickbait to feel like a betrayal (for lack of a better term.)

I do understand where you're coming from, Evan, and I still love your content, but I do find myself a bit disappointed when I click on one of your videos and its just a Q&A. I think the better way of doing this would have been to put that question at the beginning of the video, as putting it at the end of the video is essentially just as if you were trying to get more viewing time out of your audience to get more money rather than respecting your audience if that makes sense?

      +Poppy Todd +Evan Endinger Ok. I agree with you Poppy, in the way that clickbaiting is kind of cheap. However, Evan does not clickbait. The reason subscribers come to watch the video is because it's Evan, and he's awesome. But the reason that new people come to watch the video is that they're interested in it. And to get people interested, you have to make the title and thumbnail interesting! Honestly, if you didn't know how much of an amazing and hilarious person Evan is, then why would you want to watch a video that is just titled "Q&A" ? And If he puts the question in the beginning of the video, some new people won't be interested after that, and they will click off. He's just getting people interested, showing them what an amazing creator he is, then rewarding them with that information he offered in the title, so that they actually give him a chance to see his work before they become uninterested. It's a hard thing to do. For that reason, Evan is doing nothing wrong whatsoever. I mean, how many youtubers will actually APOLOGIZE for something that was supposed to be an ironic joke?

      I will point out that a lot of your audience (ie. me) probably don't follow you on twitter and don't pay attention to your schedule. I don't think it's a morally heinous act to clickbait, it's just annoying and I'm likely to click off if it's just a q&a. Whereas if it had your favourite question plus "q&a" I could choose whether or not I was in the mood for a q&a. Otherwise I just feel tricked.
      I do really enjoy your content, but I'm afraid you're one of the people I watch on and off, so I like knowing exactly what I'm getting. With the youtubers I watch every video of, it doesn't matter so much. With the youtubers I only click on in my sub box if I'm in the right mood/it sounds interesting, I feel irritated and cheated if it's not actually what I thought it was. Basically I think the general rule of thumb should be to not clickbait, but no one is actually obligated to avoid it. You just need to bear in mind that you might lose some of your casual viewers.

    also, i got that it was ironic and a joke but... was it funny? i couldn't appreciate it cause as soon as i got it my first reaction was to scroll down and read the comments cause i knew a lot of people would be upset. i know sense of humor is subjective and my opinion isn't a fact, but i still think it's something to consider.

      +isabel marinho I found it funny as did many in the comments but humour is subjective as you said

    Dodie was understandably upset but she doesn't really have the right to tell you that your Q&A titles are shitty and click baity. I know she means well but just keep doing what you think is best for your brand and friendship evan. Peace to all of you.

    completely agree with dodie on this one, it's actually so annoying finding an interesting looking video and then realising the video is a q&a/daily vlog

    I agree more with Evan. I actually enjoy watching Q&A's. Usually click bait doesn't bother me too much unless it's used to the extreme of people hardly talking about the topic they put in the title.
