5. The other day when somebody complained about clickbait titles I did come up with an idea.

I was going to change every title to "Let's talk about (my creative suggestion)" like Beau of the Fifth Column does. Meanwhile, I would leave off the content creators in the thread title. I suspect that after 6 - 8 hours of doing those changes everybody will be begging me to revert back to my current posting habits because once the video thumbnails drop off of the front page it would be impossible to know what the topics are for those videos, except from those creative titles. Therefore, instead of sporadic threads having clickbait titles, ALL of the threads would become clickbait. To make things even worse, I could also throw in a few duplicate threads to be especially annoying.

The moral of the story...be careful what you wish for, you might get it!
