How do we shut down FAKE youtubers CLICKBAIT

[Kickflapper]

So, I am a regular youTube follower but there are some a**holes out there that are pure click bait. This means people who offer free tutorials that are bottom line fake... examples (charge your phone in 30secs, update ps3 to ps4 via disc......)

How can I shut down these guys? They claim it is entertainment; however it s pure BS and I want it to stop. "Thiojoe" classic case.....A**hole click bait. any suggestions?

Thanks guys Linus and this forums rocks!

If there's no one falling for those, I don't think those will exist.

You can't stop this, and neither can we. It is a form of entertainment whether we agree with it or not.

Clickbait youtubers have existed since the dawn of time. The kind you are referring to specifically are known trolls. Nobody watches their videos for real advice, the joke is how ridiculous they can make the tutorial while still delivering it with confidence and a straight face.

[Kickflapper]

Well it is a SCAM and nobody agrees with it BECAUSE it does not work

[Geralt]

Do "DOWNLOAD MORE RAM" click baits still exist on Youtube?

[Paralectic]

SO FLO ANTONIO!

Well you can't stop people from posting whatever they want on a site like Youtube. Just don't give them your clicks. If something looks fishy, it probably is. What would you want to do about it? Create a cyber army and DDoS Youtube or massive dislike said videos?

lol seriously?

 

I personally think it's both hilarious and sad ...

 

hilarious because I think they are funny videos, and I somehow find it funny that people really believe what youtubers like Thiojoe put on their channels!

 

sad because people really believe what youtubers like Thiojoe put on their channels ... and that it just proves that nobody is trying to learn anymore and only want to be spoonfed! (I personally can't stand people that are expecting to be spoonfed, that must be why I think it's hilarious they are getting "scammed" by those channels!)
