Clickbait

A form of lying to people on the Internet in order to get people to click on their videos. The lying informs that something has been done on the video, but that "something" is not even there. This is often used on YouTube and other social media. The word's name explains the whole definition.
The video title said "My taco was extremely spicy!", but there was no taco! What a clickbait video!

Cliffbaiter

A cliffhanger so unnecessary that it turns the video into clickbait
