    It is a bit irritating for those of us who don't need to be baited. But I wonder if it's worthwhile if it attracts more eyeballs and actually works in engaging more people.

      Mosdef is about the algorithm, getting clicks. i understand but it bothers me still. the guy has great guests, they should focus on creating good content.

        What good is creating good content if people don't click on it? These kinds of channels do not need to be preaching to the choir. We are a niche audience that is already convinced of the anti-imperialist perspective, we are not the people who need to see these videos the most.

        I would need to see the numbers but i'm fairly sure they wouldn't be using titles and thumbnails like they are if they didn't have a positive effect in boosting engagement.
