Seems to be the new norm.

Well, technically, the term “clickbait” is when you show a link or some sensationalized headline that lead the reader to something unrelated or misleading

Clickbait in my opinion is online content setup in a way to earn page views. It appears to me that may be what is going on.
Some youtube channels are very profitable, others not so much.
One youtube channel I like is "Project Farm". I have never seen him post a video here to earn page views though.

Exactly. There is so much YT content to earn people money or to have people to subscribe allowing the total subscriptions to rise for higher payout.
Relatives, co-workers, other connections are all posting clickbait to get in on the action. Its gotten way worse since the 2020 lock-downs.

Click bait or not. I couldn't stay tuned for long. The bald guy with a dew rag delivers a monotone monologe about manufacture sources that he openly admits may be wrong without skipping a beat. That's about the point I'd have to tell any neighbor that I think I left something cooking on the stove.

While I didn't watch the entrie video it seems like it's intended to be useful and is related to the forum.
As for the titles, I've seen much worse and misleading titles.
IMO if the entire video were instead a text based post, nobody would think to chime in on writing style or one mention of "may be wrong" (which is a common phrase in forums). In fact they might say "thanks for the great write-up" after reading a couple thousand words.

Kind of difficult to find out it's misleading without watching it.

Hardly click bait.
I wouldn't generally watch a Mahindra opinion video, but I found his experiences and opinions interesting nonetheless.
One thing I'm sure of... He's not making millions off YouTube videos, and likely is not motivated by $$$ at all.
Even though I'm not a Mahindra or TYM fan, thanks @Ledgemere Farm for the interesting presentation!

Thank You. In reality, I’m a 100% disabled veteran who finds cows and tractors are cheaper than a shrink. I’m not trying to mislead anyone or garner any fame and fortune, I’m only offering up my experiences in effort to help others make their choices. There are so many brands and models of machinery, it can be very overwhelming to a novice prospective tractor owner. I like to read reviews and ask others opinions before I make a big purchase and I presume others do the same. Regardless, I appreciate your kind words.
