Much as I hate this "list-icle" [sic] naming convention (like 11 things you won't believe about Massachusetts), that's the actual name of the video, so I guess it's fine here.

He makes ok videos but I try not to watch them for this reason. You click on one and then your recommendations are full of top 10 saddest anime deaths for weeks.

This was just in my recommended randomly - probably because I had watched a few speedruns before, and maybe a related thing or two.

But I know what you mean. Hopefully my interests are so all over the place that YT can't make heads or tails of it. :p

Clickbait. I wonder if monetizing makes Youtube worse.

It at least goes into detail and is actually about the material in the title. True clickbait doesn't give a shit and just has STAR WARS plastered over it for the clicks. It almost demands respect in the level of bullshittery achieved, actually. Almost.

As for monetization...pros and cons, as with almost everything.
