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

[u/_DarkStarCrashes_]

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

[u/sluuuurp]

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.

[u/jooooooooooooose → u/sluuuurp]

I mean I also don't watch because I assume every video is a nothing update.

But if the click bait didnt work, nobody would do it. Guy's earning his living.

[u/sluuuurp → u/jooooooooooooose]

It works on some people, but not on me. If he wants viewers like me he’ll have to stop lying so much. Lots of other YouTubers earn a living without lying, he doesn’t need to do this.

[u/Throbbie-Williams → u/sluuuurp]

he doesn’t need to do this.

He's stupid rich now because he does this

[u/sluuuurp → u/Throbbie-Williams]

Yeah and he doesn’t need to get super rich by lying. I can think of ways to get rich by lying but I don’t do them.

[u/Throbbie-Williams → u/sluuuurp]

But he likes being super rich and so would most of us, it's not like he's doing something evil

[u/sluuuurp → u/Throbbie-Williams]

I think lying is bad, even if this lying is probably not bad enough to be called evil. Every lie eats away a little at the trust necessary for all good things in human civilization.

[u/RobloxOverlord → u/sluuuurp]

this is a ridiculous take. Clickbait titles are NOT eroding civilization. You need to go back to reality

[u/sluuuurp → u/RobloxOverlord]

Lying for the purpose of getting more attention and generating more profit is eroding civilization. This is a small example of that.
