leavebait 

When content creators on YouTube make clickbait video titles that heavily imply they are quitting, but the video itself explains otherwise, essentially tricking the viewer into watching a padded 20-50 minute video about nothing remotely important.

Examples of leavebait video titles:
"I'm leaving..."
"I'm retiring..."
"I quit..."

"Hey have you seen this YouTuber's new video called 'I'm leaving...'? Looks like he's quitting YouTube."

"No, that's just leavebait, he isn't quitting YouTube. He's actually just moving 2 houses down the street."
