So what you're saying is make a good quality video that has people watching till the end and create a click bait title with a pretty awesome thumbnail. So people will click and not be disappointed and subscribe.

Every meta theory on this channel basically boils down to _"dopamine sucks, it's ruining every form of entertainment and we can't do anything about it, gg"_. That is kind of depressing, considering it is true...
This is relatively true. But I don't click on click bait vids. I click on things I actually enjoy. Not someone claiming that they'll kill them selves or something...

Matthew Fennell the problem is a lot of people don't stick to their sub boxes and don't actually go to the channels to find new videos. but yes if you follow the guidelines you've set yourself you should be just fine. 👍
+Typical 12 year old UA-cam Commenter But it won't be suggested as much because the more minutes you watch the more UA-cam understands that it's a bad video because if it's a bad video why watch it? Maybe you should've watched the video because it's all explained here.
I know, right? I just recently watched the cutting-the-rubber-band-ball one, and that one was super neat. I mean, that rubber band ball sort-of shot up like a volcano, and that was really neat.

Pietro Lucchese I disagree. Matpat said that the creators are losing their views and recommendations to these spider man an Elsa videos that are geared towards children. Every one of these videos that is recommended is a real content creator's video that didn't get recommended. If UA-cam didn't make a change to their algorithms, they need to. As it's being abused just like it was through clickbait titles before. MatPat also completely ignored that creators older videos are being recommended over their new content. Why is UA-cam recommending 6 month old videos? Also, why am I getting un-subbed from channels I watch? Why are there videos not showing up in the sub feed yet I can go to the channel manually and find it? What does that have to do with the viewers?
I like that he was talking about decision wearout and sneakily left the annotation with in two halves, for us to choose which. Alright, just for that I'm going all the way back to my subscription feed to click on it.
Does anyone else realize that Mat gets us to stay on his videos by not giving us absolutely 100% of the theory till the very end of the video... And as he's been explaining the whole UA-cam algorithm is set for how long we stay on a video. Mat you truly are a genius lol
Wait a sec. Game Theory does the clickbait thing. It asks a question in the title and everyone clicks on it because they need to answer the question!!! And that's just a theory! A crappy theory!

I am getting it all the time, and I don't care. I wonder if it is suggested because I watch a bunch of Slow Mo Guys and RHNB vids, but if I'm not the only one getting it suggested to me...
It's not in mine right now, but I've seen it. One video that WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE is one about Sword Art Online having "Bad game design" with a half-naked Asuna in the thumbnail, plus the red circle and arrow pointing to something in the background. Funny thing is, if the thumbnail wasn't so blatantly click-baity, I might have actually clicked on it just to see what the guy has to say about SAO as a game...
good idea. id say i guess yeh and no. they are strong enough to kill pvz zombies though but they would probably be hard pressed to kill something like a left 4 dead infected (not a zombie) or many other zombies (and infected but not zombies)
I think the worst parts of this type of video is when they make people feel hopeless, but I'm glad you highlighted a way to solve the issue. I really appreciate you talking about what you found and researched and told us how to respond to the problems. Although its never easy to hear all of the problems in the UA-cam and media system we all are so familiar with, at least we know we have the power to change it for the better. Thanks MatPat and everyone at Game Theory and Film Theory for another great video.

Brian This is why I like my country. Not a lot of people watch clickbait. Almost no stupid trending videos only legit things. Except the om telolet om thing that one is good
MEGABUMSTENCH no, it is people who define entertainment by what and how they watch it, machines are actually doing their job by providing us what the general public wants. We are the problem.
+Kevin D. Najera SOOO.... how long ago did you make this account? Love the "name" seems legit every person uses their "real name" on their UA-cam account LMFAO. Fake account
Apparently I have a lot of self control. I never click clickbait, I never impulse buy, if something is boring I click off... I never realized that was strange...?? Anyone else? Oh my god this comment got way more attention than I thought it would XD and I was DEFINITELY exaggerating a bit when I said I NEVER impulse buy. I have been known to buy candy frequently, but that is more of a self-indulgence thing.
KittyKat607 me too, and forget about the "click here" messages! I know how easy it is to get malware, even at secure sites there is a chance...so why click a random message?
KittyKat607 i only click clickbaits that sounds really really interesting... but if i find out eventually that it as a pie, i automatically flose off the video
Cow he still plays games, like The Last Guardian, but he wants to do what he likes, though... He can't stay hours in front of a computer and put his health in danger, playing stupid video games, just to make us happy. And if u think his videos are cringy that is because he wants them to be like that, just to make fun of his videos.
Amber Storm oh my God. Yes. Yes. This. I've been wanting a third iteration so we eventually get all four buttons colored. Also hell this could be good.
No, they'll take out Alex Hirsch. The government will destroy him before he'll be able to continue Gravity Falls. Also it's known that Alex Hirsch will make something similar to Gravity Falls in the future.
2:35 Wait so he doesn't really do a lot of gaming anymore? That explains a lot. 7:40 Cured? Doesn't that still happen? 14:39 I disabled that. Wish I could do it when watching playlists but they got rid of that feature and forced it to be always on when watching a playlist.
Zeno Blues yes they change things on purpose to confuse people I minute 1 thing works then it doesn't at the minute its not about watch time its about engagement meaning even if people dislike a video youtube thinks that's good as people are talking / engaging with it.
Technically, engagement has little to do with the algorithm. It is watch time velocity. The more faster the watch time increases the more likely that video gets promoted.
VPPAF you say something simple that in some way ticks off a person causing an argument in the comment section, then they go onto eachothers channels to find stuff to make fun of them about. easy.
I watch Filthy Frank, and he made a certain song. When you look up the exact song in the search engine, it won't pop up. But, the song is still there, it wasn't taken off, it just won't pop up unless it's in your recommended.
+Sander Broadcast Well that's retarded then. UA-cam should know if you're 18+...and besides look at regular television. Most of the shows and advertising are for adults. And that makes complete sense considering they're the ones with the money to spend. I've never understood this kind of logic by UA-cam.
Honestly , havent seen any of your other content, this was flat out amazing as it made me think and gave a lot of intformation in an entertaining way. Thank you for producing. I hope you produce more of this type of content of this in the future.
You guy's do know that he's actually doing it with this vid right? It's not a game theory 1 and it's mostly a reply video 2. Clickbait is used by pretty much every channel on UA-cam.
You know what viewers need? A strong will and good decision making. If you see an obviously clickbaity title/thunbnail, SCROLL PAST IT. It's that easy (ish). Stop the clickbait tho. Please. Wasting our time. (This is to all clickbaity youtubers, for the idiots thinking that I'm talking about MatPat.
You know what viewers do? They watch what they want to watch. Noone sits through an Elsa Vs Spider-Man video against their will. The fact that a lot of people would equally want to watch that or a Pewdiepie video shows just how little people care about the videos they are watching. This video is just trying to avoid the fact that the content they produce is worth less than nothing to most of their viewership who literally only click on it because its in their notifications.
I agree Like if somone watches a Asdfmovie They're funny? Right? and they'd get more views Because Its a memorable Part of the brain(Lol i am gonna be a scientist at the age of 9 :P) and if your watching like a Joker takes spiderman away or stuff like that you might not like it. BUT! Theres more kids than adult. So? What do you get? MYSTERY SOLVED
Darkspindash12 I agree. Little kids are a big variable. And the worst part is, you need to be a certain age to have a UA-cam account meaning there are a lot of people lying about their age and possibly seeing things that aren't appropriate for them.
I heard that the constant avaliability of choices has actually made us choose less variety (like getting the exact same Starbucks order out of the huge possibilities), but your explanation of decision fatigue helped me understand why. We have so much to choose from that we stick with our old favorites instead of having to deal with choosing something new.
Guys, quick! I came up with a solution! To get rid of the crappy or clickbaity videos, find them, click on them, watch them for only 2 seconds or so (but make sure you're actually watching them, not ads) dislike them, and then go. That should (from what I observed from the video) tell youtube that you didn't get what you wanted from that video and would probably stop promoting those if we, the viewers, attacked that video in mass amounts. Also, don't just do it to a video that's not in your taste. Don't attack a make-up video because you don't do make-up, and don't attack a minecraft video because you don't play minecraft. Look out for the clickbait, the terrifying stuff this video was mentioning that people made for kids, and look for the lazy quality.
It's been said that that's exactly the opposite of what we need to do. Even 2 seconds will build up watch minutes in massive groups, and even disliking a video is interacting with it, which is good for the video and will help to increase it's visibility.
Howell2010 the disliking a video increaces poparity of the video is a old myth that is complety incorrect and is made to make users not dislike a hated channel for example keemstar saying thank you to his viewers for disliking a video is him trying to make haters do the opposite of what they should do if they hate a video
But UA-cam is broken for users too. Let's take the bullshit Bee Movie and We Are Number One memes for example. After watching one, I realised I have no interest in it. I dislike the video but more get suggested. So then I click the x in the corner of the suggestion and go to the effort of telling UA-cam why I didn't like it (I am not interested). 10-20 more suggestions later, I realise a lot of these are coming from the same account, so I block their channel. Still I get more suggestions. If being suggested videos for a channel I have blocked isn't broken, then I don't know what is, let alone the fact I keep telling UA-cam what type of content I am not interested in and it ignoring me.
Prajwal Rai he has been sick for 2 weeks so all videos this week is christmas skits that have been pre-recorded. he uploads game everyday bro not just this week bc it's christmas and he's sick.
Prajwal Rai yes...dude have you even watched his "I HAVE BRONCHITIS" video? he explained it there why he will be uploading pre recorded vids of christmas skits, and just a few gaming ones that he promised everyone, he'll be uploading 2 videos a day again once he's feeling better.
Prajwal Rai oh and also, why are you looking for gaming vids from him? are you not subscribed to him or not seeing the recent ones in your sub box or something because i think yesterday he uploaded the golden freddy mode (which he recorded for 7 hours while he was sick)..
jamila morales I hadn't been watching him for about a week or so cuz I'm not really interested in the Christmas skits(not hating) I guess it didn't show up in my sub box Thanks dude
My god your a genius! I'm going to be doing a lot of psychological research after this. Your video just blew my mind and I need to put the pieces back together in a way that wont be harmful to UA-cam or society. Being more conscious of ones choices is never a bad thing. ^_^ Thanks MatPatt
So in short: step 1: make a click bait title with multiple popular YT'bers and merchandise step 2: make it terrible step 3: make it 10+ minutes long step 4: put a million different products in the description step 5: if possible, make it a list TOP 10 WORST SEXUAL UA-camRS EVER! PEWDIEPIE, MARKIPLIER, TWITCH STREAM FAILS!!! FROZEN DISNEY PS4 XBOX ONE!!! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS!!
I love what you're doing here, explaining important psychological facts in an entertaining way; facts that would make everyone a little wiser to know. Everyone has "junk time," where they sit around and watch whatever. My junk time is spent listening to philosophy, science, and psychology, so even when my brain is idling I'm still thinking. I believe trying to understand ourselves and the universe we exist in is one of the highest virtues we can strive toward. It's what will put us on the Moon, Mars, the rest of the solar system, and eventually the galaxy. So keep going, Game Theory; you are the bridge between the entertainment we crave and the deep thought we need.
You are broken...

One video that WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE is one about Sword Art Online having "Bad game design" with a half-naked Asuna in the thumbnail, plus the red circle and arrow pointing to something in the background. Funny thing is, if the thumbnail wasn't so blatantly click-baity, I might have actually clicked on it just to see what the guy has to say about SAO as a game...
Theory idea: Are the plants really strong enough to kill zombies? ( PvZ GW/ PvZ GW2 )
Or just normal PvZ....
good idea. id say i guess yeh and no. they are strong enough to kill pvz zombies though but they would probably be hard pressed to kill something like a left 4 dead infected (not a zombie) or many other zombies (and infected but not zombies)
The Answer is No. Just No.
Samuel Hirs if the answer was no just no then they couldnt kill the zombies in their own game though lol.
Probably not
MatPat can I get pinned for no reason?
no
KianWasHere yes
KianWasHere no
no
KianWasHere maybe
Did anyone else see bill cypher at the top of the pyramid?
I saw bill cipher
I was waiting for a comment about that. Finally found it.
I saw
yes
Yes I did
I think the worst parts of this type of video is when they make people feel hopeless, but I'm glad you highlighted a way to solve the issue. I really appreciate you talking about what you found and researched and told us how to respond to the problems. Although its never easy to hear all of the problems in the UA-cam and media system we all are so familiar with, at least we know we have the power to change it for the better. Thanks MatPat and everyone at Game Theory and Film Theory for another great video.
Wotso Videos big fan
Self Control people. Thats all it is. More control over yourself is THE KEY.
Or train yourself to have automatic mental defenses. It isn't THAT hard.
yeah, you're right.
Woman should have more self control and dress less slutty. The rapist is not to blame.
It's not the store's fault for abusing Psychology to trick people.
It's not the immoral person's fault for being a *DICK*
STOP BLAMING THE AUDIANCE.
DragonInferno99 Ω if you like em at least
Domyras wow, i thought i was a dumbass dude.
+elziro01 Domyras is a reaction seeking troll pretending to be triggered to get a reaction seems like you gave it to him.
I genuinely don't feel the need to click on click bait videos. I must have evolved early! Join me peasants.
Tom Lloyd I never click on them for the satisfaction of knowing their tricks don't work on me.
Tom Lloyd psychopath
I'm with you on that. Be better than the heathens!
Tom Lloyd WWOOOHHH!!! Resistance!
(monotone) yayyyyy
Mat: But that’s garbage content I hear you thinking
My thoughts: He can hear my thoughts?
Mat: Yes, I can
(90% of audience are mind blown and completley forget after)
Shoopersaiyan i am your 100th like:D
Edit:that might be to much dopimine i think i spelled it correctly yay:D
Edit again:aw man so close also i think i ate to much marshmellows
Shoopersaiyan pretty much
LOL SO TRUE
Shoopersaiyan true
I'm so impressed by this you guys did a good job and I learned so much
curious question- do you think you know it all now? or did you just realize there's more you don't understand?
Stone hornet it's true it opens up Alot more questions
Ya
You must know enough to know what you don't know.
It's fun discovering new information, but it kind of makes you pity those realllllly stupid people who think they know everything. They can't help it, it's just how this stuff works.
This is why I get infuriated every time I go to look at "what's trending". It is 90% click bait or advertisements.
Brian
This is why I like my country. Not a lot of people watch clickbait. Almost no stupid trending videos only legit things. Except the om telolet om thing that one is good
sucks to live in the U.S.
spending more than 1 min on trending page makes me puke
what country are you living in? it sounds like heaven. belgium is full off idiots following trends and soccer
xTigreboy
Singapore. Only a few clickbait videos surface in trending. I think it's because people are too busy to watch things here haha
If you skip to the end to see what happens... does it count as watching the whole thing?
Hope not...
No
100th liike
holy crap, this video tought me more than school
BSG baldursebastiansGames clearly, since you can't even spell taught
hahahhahaha
BSG baldursebastiansGames if only mat pat taught spelling...
Well you need to learn to spell properly.
Also, "Than" not "Then".
short answer: machines are bad for sorting out entertainment
MEGABUMSTENCH no, it is people who define entertainment by what and how they watch it, machines are actually doing their job by providing us what the general public wants. We are the problem.
short response:
no, it means humans are inconsistent and don't know what they want
Perhaps. i know many who do know what they want. inconclusive.
+Kevin D. Najera SOOO.... how long ago did you make this account? Love the "name" seems legit every person uses their "real name" on their UA-cam account LMFAO. Fake account
Apparently I have a lot of self control. I never click clickbait, I never impulse buy, if something is boring I click off... I never realized that was strange...?? Anyone else?
Oh my god this comment got way more attention than I thought it would XD and I was DEFINITELY exaggerating a bit when I said I NEVER impulse buy. I have been known to buy candy frequently, but that is more of a self-indulgence thing.
KittyKat607 me too, and forget about the "click here" messages! I know how easy it is to get malware, even at secure sites there is a chance...so why click a random message?
KittyKat607 i only click clickbaits that sounds really really interesting... but if i find out eventually that it as a pie, i automatically flose off the video
Smash Crafters my standpoint on infinitewarfare over battle field
this is why I have 3 pairs of clothing I hate buying clothes especially like at a Burlington clothes for miles 😥
KittyKat607 I don't have self control in real life, but when I'm on UA-cam, I instantly click away the second I get bored. Kinda crazy. Heh
17:24
MatPat: If your brain is presented with too many choices, it tends to avoid decisions entirely.
Me: That's why PLAYLISTS were invented!
11:32 *Thank You for including me **_MATPAT!!!_*
momma i made it thanks for the ❤️ matpat!
TechSmartt hey
I don't hate PewDiePie I hate that he stopped gaming
Cow, you're not alone. 100% agree.
((・▽・)) katy nyan Same
I didn't really like his gaming I found them stupid and cringy
Cow he still plays games, like The Last Guardian, but he wants to do what he likes, though... He can't stay hours in front of a computer and put his health in danger, playing stupid video games, just to make us happy. And if u think his videos are cringy that is because he wants them to be like that, just to make fun of his videos.
Cow same
i press the i icon and it says "ClickBait video about Clickbait"
Vegito Blue lol
I hope PewDiePie sees this video, I miss his gaming videos.
dumb

Amber Storm oh my God. Yes. Yes. This. I've been wanting a third iteration so we eventually get all four buttons colored. Also hell this could be good.
Amber Storm
What about life theory
Naaaaaah
Life theory? Nah. Survivor theory like he hinted at in the hunger games videos.
this is also why animating channel are doing so bad.
It makes me so sad ;___; (i love animating channels)
I know! I want to be a animating channel!
+Leah ColorfulCute animation* (grabs popcorn)
Leah ColorfulCute they are doing bad?

What why am I watching this then.
Because it’s good!
The Viewer = Money ->

Power = Gravity ->
Gravity Falls season 3 confirmed.
Also Bill Cipher
Always nice to meet a fan.
Tale Leny Ayyyy lmao
No, they'll take out Alex Hirsch. The government will destroy him before he'll be able to continue Gravity Falls. Also it's known that Alex Hirsch will make something similar to Gravity Falls in the future.
Tale Leny omg
These videos are insanely useful on learning how to grow on UA-cam
Wanna hear a joke?
Mobile gaming
Anime Dude TheLegend27 would disagree with you
Patrick Hedge i was suppose to do a good joke but that meme keep kicking my humor
HA!
Anime Dude PC Master race bitches!
you know, Final Fantasy brave exvius is actually pretty fun
My convo with myself:
Me: **sees title** me? No.
Also me: TRUE DAT!
Loved it! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!!
Love you keep being an inspiration to all of your subscribers!
Spaces u haven't even watched the video
I've watched many of GT's previous videos haha.

The intro music is so badass
If u wanna learn its in A minor and A minor blues
2:35 Wait so he doesn't really do a lot of gaming anymore? That explains a lot.
7:40 Cured? Doesn't that still happen?
14:39 I disabled that. Wish I could do it when watching playlists but they got rid of that feature and forced it to be always on when watching a playlist.
Why would you want it disabled while watching playlists? Is that not exactly what playlists are for?
Now explain how UA-cam comments work
they don't. sign out clear your cookies look for your comment and never see you comment again youtube will have decided its spam
VPPAF i mean how are they organized what's UA-cam algorithm organization cause it seems pretty random
Zeno Blues yes they change things on purpose to confuse people I minute 1 thing works then it doesn't at the minute its not about watch time its about engagement meaning even if people dislike a video youtube thinks that's good as people are talking / engaging with it.
Technically, engagement has little to do with the algorithm. It is watch time velocity. The more faster the watch time increases the more likely that video gets promoted.
VPPAF you say something simple that in some way ticks off a person causing an argument in the comment section, then they go onto eachothers channels to find stuff to make fun of them about. easy.
I watch Filthy Frank, and he made a certain song. When you look up the exact song in the search engine, it won't pop up. But, the song is still there, it wasn't taken off, it just won't pop up unless it's in your recommended.
I want to die when I woke up on the 28th of May...
What song?
+Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) you don't get to decide that.
+Sander Broadcast Well that's retarded then. UA-cam should know if you're 18+...and besides look at regular television. Most of the shows and advertising are for adults. And that makes complete sense considering they're the ones with the money to spend. I've never understood this kind of logic by UA-cam.
Matpat: You are broken. I will put you back together.
still waiting for Doctor Who part 3
Oden hasn't forgived you
Cookie Rager I'm waiting too
You saw 9:15 right, the bottom of the checklist. I can't wait any longer
Cookie Rager it got kicked by The Legend27
Cookie Rager still waiting on dr who 3
Cookie Rager me neither WE WANT THE DOC
" YOU are broken" well that's just sad cus it's true :'(
Nightmare Fuel pretty much
Nightmare Fuel yup
I mean it in a different way if you know what I mean
haha
Nightmare Fuel I think we know
14 minutes in and still waiting on the explanation about people getting Unsubscribed...
Update: Absolutely nothing.
It was a bug with UA-cams update and they fixed it
Oh there is nothing
"bug"
its just a goddamn bug
Honestly , havent seen any of your other content, this was flat out amazing as it made me think and gave a lot of intformation in an entertaining way. Thank you for producing. I hope you produce more of this type of content of this in the future.
UA-cam is pretty much dying at this point :/
The Great Majora True
The Great Majora lol yup
The Great Majora
Yep.
The Great Majora Nope
You have no idea haha
MatPat is the reason why I keep ad block disabled on UA-cam.
John Pablo indeed
Click bait is just a cheap tactic to get more views.
You guy's do know that he's actually doing it with this vid right? It's not a game theory 1 and it's mostly a reply video 2. Clickbait is used by pretty much every channel on UA-cam.
MyoonCat Congrats you just defined a word.
everyone on this website uses it.
Wolfram quit embarrassing yourselves
Wolfram Memes are just a cheap tactic to make weak references stronger!
🎼 Danker than you 🎼
Actually, I would like to have every different type of pokemon energy cards...
Me too! I just really like collecting
*Ahem*
Nods towards *Doctor Who Part 3*
CXVII MMDLII IKR
Crazy_Panda_87 WHERE IT AT THO?!?!?!
CXVII MMDLII fun fact: Peter Capaldi looks like old Rory williams with a scottish accent like Amy...
This video just got deep😳
You know what viewers need? A strong will and good decision making. If you see an obviously clickbaity title/thunbnail, SCROLL PAST IT. It's that easy (ish). Stop the clickbait tho. Please. Wasting our time. (This is to all clickbaity youtubers, for the idiots thinking that I'm talking about MatPat.
Legofan4ever88 yep
You know what viewers do? They watch what they want to watch. Noone sits through an Elsa Vs Spider-Man video against their will. The fact that a lot of people would equally want to watch that or a Pewdiepie video shows just how little people care about the videos they are watching. This video is just trying to avoid the fact that the content they produce is worth less than nothing to most of their viewership who literally only click on it because its in their notifications.
I agree Like if somone watches a Asdfmovie They're funny? Right? and they'd get more views Because Its a memorable Part of the brain(Lol i am gonna be a scientist at the age of 9 :P) and if your watching like a Joker takes spiderman away or stuff like that you might not like it. BUT! Theres more kids than adult. So? What do you get?
MYSTERY SOLVED
But... I dont know if its really clickbait until i click it..
Darkspindash12 I agree. Little kids are a big variable. And the worst part is, you need to be a certain age to have a UA-cam account meaning there are a lot of people lying about their age and possibly seeing things that aren't appropriate for them.
I heard that the constant avaliability of choices has actually made us choose less variety (like getting the exact same Starbucks order out of the huge possibilities), but your explanation of decision fatigue helped me understand why. We have so much to choose from that we stick with our old favorites instead of having to deal with choosing something new.
Matpat hasn't made a sister location custom night game theory yet. Let's motivate him with a controlled shock!
kevin maldonado yesssss
Guys, quick! I came up with a solution! To get rid of the crappy or clickbaity videos, find them, click on them, watch them for only 2 seconds or so (but make sure you're actually watching them, not ads) dislike them, and then go. That should (from what I observed from the video) tell youtube that you didn't get what you wanted from that video and would probably stop promoting those if we, the viewers, attacked that video in mass amounts.
Also, don't just do it to a video that's not in your taste. Don't attack a make-up video because you don't do make-up, and don't attack a minecraft video because you don't play minecraft. Look out for the clickbait, the terrifying stuff this video was mentioning that people made for kids, and look for the lazy quality.
I'm not a youtube employee
+QWERTY The Ghost yes, we should do it
QWERTY The Ghost Also, we should probably send reports so they may view the video
It's been said that that's exactly the opposite of what we need to do. Even 2 seconds will build up watch minutes in massive groups, and even disliking a video is interacting with it, which is good for the video and will help to increase it's visibility.
Howell2010 the disliking a video increaces poparity of the video is a old myth that is complety incorrect and is made to make users not dislike a hated channel
for example keemstar saying thank you to his viewers for disliking a video is him trying to make haters do the opposite of what they should do if they hate a video
But UA-cam is broken for users too. Let's take the bullshit Bee Movie and We Are Number One memes for example. After watching one, I realised I have no interest in it. I dislike the video but more get suggested. So then I click the x in the corner of the suggestion and go to the effort of telling UA-cam why I didn't like it (I am not interested). 10-20 more suggestions later, I realise a lot of these are coming from the same account, so I block their channel. Still I get more suggestions. If being suggested videos for a channel I have blocked isn't broken, then I don't know what is, let alone the fact I keep telling UA-cam what type of content I am not interested in and it ignoring me.
Fabrizio Lungo I never actually saw it like that, good job on overanalysing MatPat's overanalyse. ( no sarcasm intended)
Yeah the bee movie and shrek movie memes get boring fast tbh
But we are number one? Did you see the runescape one? It's funny af m8!
Fabrizio Lungo I have the same problem, especially the we are number one thing (this time one is replaced by ______ ) I absolutely hate it..
Fabrizio Lungo You could just delete it from your history.
martindude Srsly who doesn't like memes?
i honestly adore how dedicated matpat is to his research like
Actually, UA-cam and Google are now both owned by Alphabet Inc., if you want to be technical. But this will just be lost to the comments.
lol one of the top comments
Jimmy T Dude I was just thinking the exact same thing, I even searched it.
Jimmy T Actually, no. Alphabet owns Google, and Google in turn owns UA-cam.
Jimmy T obviously not
It was only a name and organizational change, it is still the same company.
Ooh a new game theory video *reads title* Oh no
(puts hands on cheeks) OOOHHHH NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I hope Markiplier notices this too
cuz I'm not getting them gaming videos ....
Prajwal Rai he has been sick for 2 weeks so all videos this week is christmas skits that have been pre-recorded. he uploads game everyday bro not just this week bc it's christmas and he's sick.
jamila morales Did he really pre record all 12 days of Christmas
Prajwal Rai yes...dude have you even watched his "I HAVE BRONCHITIS" video? he explained it there why he will be uploading pre recorded vids of christmas skits, and just a few gaming ones that he promised everyone, he'll be uploading 2 videos a day again once he's feeling better.
Prajwal Rai oh and also, why are you looking for gaming vids from him? are you not subscribed to him or not seeing the recent ones in your sub box or something because i think yesterday he uploaded the golden freddy mode (which he recorded for 7 hours while he was sick)..
jamila morales I hadn't been watching him for about a week or so cuz I'm not really interested in the Christmas skits(not hating)
I guess it didn't show up in my sub box
Thanks dude
My god your a genius! I'm going to be doing a lot of psychological research after this. Your video just blew my mind and I need to put the pieces back together in a way that wont be harmful to UA-cam or society. Being more conscious of ones choices is never a bad thing. ^_^ Thanks MatPatt
you're you are???????
So in short:
step 1: make a click bait title with multiple popular YT'bers and merchandise
step 2: make it terrible
step 3: make it 10+ minutes long
step 4: put a million different products in the description
step 5: if possible, make it a list
TOP 10 WORST SEXUAL UA-camRS EVER! PEWDIEPIE, MARKIPLIER, TWITCH STREAM FAILS!!! FROZEN DISNEY PS4 XBOX ONE!!! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS!!
Toshiko Ayame there you go.
That's all it takes.
Toshiko Ayame So true
you know.... i really want to click that title...no joke
thedarkgamings resistance is futile
I love what you're doing here, explaining important psychological facts in an entertaining way; facts that would make everyone a little wiser to know. Everyone has "junk time," where they sit around and watch whatever. My junk time is spent listening to philosophy, science, and psychology, so even when my brain is idling I'm still thinking. I believe trying to understand ourselves and the universe we exist in is one of the highest virtues we can strive toward. It's what will put us on the Moon, Mars, the rest of the solar system, and eventually the galaxy. So keep going, Game Theory; you are the bridge between the entertainment we crave and the deep thought we need.
