Cliffbaiter

A cliffhanger so unnecessary that it turns the video into clickbait

"I was watching a video about blue LEDs when the video ended just as the inventor was talking about inventing the blue LED! 1.5 minutes of my life wasted!"
"It's a cliffhanger."
"A cliffhanger, huh? You know what's also a cliffhanger? The Sopranos ending with a cut to black! This ain't a cliffhanger, it's a cliffbaiter!"

clickbaiter

A person or website that posts eye-catching headlines for stories that aren't very accurate or just plain made up, in the hope that they'll go viral on social media, bringing in ad revenue. Also, a generator of fake news that frequently claims to be doing "satire" when called out for just making up outrageous shit.

He fancies himself a hip satirist, but he's really just a second-rate clickbaiter.
