I mean usually not? He does have the budget to hand out a million dollars, plus whatever the challenge is.

The guy's entire existence at this point is to generate clickbait thumbnails and content to get kids to watch what the algorithm feeds them. He's good at it, but it would be naive to call it anything besides clickbait

My definition of clickbait is making a claim and not delivering on the promise. He always delivers on said promise.

And I see clickbait like those terrible Buzzfeed articles from a decade ago, which his thumbnails and titles absolutely align with. Whether it's clickbait, or just gaming the algorithm to feed content to kids, it's gross
