YouTube is cracking down on clickbait
SMRTR summary
YouTube is cracking down on clickbait videos, starting in India. The platform will remove content with misleading titles or thumbnails that don't match the video's actual content. This policy targets "egregious" clickbait, especially in breaking news and current events. Examples include false claims about presidential resignations or misleading news thumbnails. Initially, YouTube won't give strikes to creators violating the rules as it educates them about the changes. The policy will expand to more countries in the coming months.
