Get the Not clickbait mug.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?).

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.
