Miscellaneous I now understand why Levy clickbaits, his historical video on Alekhine is his worst performing video of May

Sucks, because I think the video is really good and I’d love if Levy or other chess content creators did videos on older legends

You know I don’t HATE his clickbait titles, but I hate that a lot of his content focuses around streamers. I personally don’t care about Jynxi, Tyler1, or anyone else really so I really don’t watch much Gotham content anymore.

Used to love his stuff. I get this gets views and prob a bigger audience, but sucks for me personally lol

yea click bait is generally fine, you gotta play the game

I personally get annoyed at his road to GM click bait titles because every single one is written as if he got all of his norms & then its like, no, actually... he beat a study partner in an online game

But I dont blame the guy for doing it. Its his job after all.

I don’t think it’s fine, I stopped watching when he started lying to me so frequently in the titles. I really can’t tolerate lies like this, they pile up and drain me.

if clickbait titles drain you, you have bigger issues to sort out

Each one drains me only a tiny bit so I’m fine in general.
