Clickbait

Something David Dobrik and the vlog squad use on all of their vlogs. David has even made merch baised on the fact he uses clickbait. Clickbait is something that draws you in to click on it, to watch a video to see if it actually happens: example "OMG this landed him in the hospital!" So you click on it to see what happens, when in reality it never happened.
