A clickbaiter is one who uses a misleading title or an off-topic thumbnail that will attract his or her audience and leaving the clickbaiter with more views than expected.
Title: 1000 DEGREE KNIFE VS. MY THROAT
Person: Wow! This looks interesting!
Clickbaiter: So today we're reading comments from tumblr posts!
Person: Baited Again.

The thing sad and greedy YouTubers use in order to get their grubby fingers on fake views
The only view they get is their 60-year-old mom who butt pressed your video

An old scamming technique used for attract the attention of some poor fool who gets caught on the bait.
It consist of putting hot bitches with huge breasts an thick butts and anything that would make someone's dick go solid steel or vaginas turn to water parks on a video's thumbnail, only so you click on it, and it's just a fat masturbating 14 years old boy doing something fucking useless and retarded on some crappy piece of shit of a game. The title of the video is also set to play along the thumbnail, something like "HOT BITCHES SUCKING ME OFF TILL MY TESTICLES TURN PURPLE ON MINCERAFT(GONE SEXUAL)(I DIED?).

You know that moment...When you see something cool...you click on it...but that cool thing isn't there ? Yep that's clickbait.

If you don't know what clickbait is by now... well, here it is:
Clickbait: content that is labelled with an extremely exciting/sensational title but with content nothing close to it.
Point is, you click on it and:
1. The person who posted the clickbait gets a view;
2. The website who made it gets ad money;
3. You get shown a scam.
The point of clickbait is to entice you to click on something. Once you've clicked, the baiter gets some kind of benefit while you get disappointed.

If you want to avoid clickbait, avoid:
>ANYTHING IN ALL CAPS.
>A billion question marks!!!!!!!!!!!
>"NOT CLICKBAIT"
>"GONE SEXUAL"
>"Experts/Doctors/ Baffled"
>"Simple Trick"
>Anything Where Each First Letter In Every Word Is Capitalised.
>Anything you see at the bottom of a site (Recommended by Taboola, etc.).
