A form of clickbait, watchbait is where a person will use a catchy title to get you to watch their video. Commonly used by youtubers who have no life, and have videos that go to 10:05 (so they can extend the amount of ads, and generate more profit).
Browsing through YouTube. 'Mom buys kid fidget spinner for $1. You won't believe what happens!' . 'DO NOT DO THIS AT 3 AM!'. "Why is there so much watchbait today?!"

(watch-fast) syn./adj./verb
The act of masochistically limiting one's watch worn for a lengthy period of time in order to better appreciate its unique qualities in lieu of rotating through a large collection of alternatives. This concept was first introduced to social media in 2017 through the Two Broke Watch Snobs podcast, where its hosts challenged listeners to forcibly become conscious of their preferences for an entire month. The term has since been appropriated by the greater "watchfam" community through Instagram hashtags and similar narratives.
