    YouTube says the policy will combat “egregious” clickbait that misleads viewers, with a particular focus on videos related to “breaking news” or “current events.” The company’s examples of egregious clickbait include a video with the title “the president resigned!” that doesn’t actually address a resignation or a “top political news” thumbnail attached to a video with no news content.

    sounds like anything that says it’s one thing but does a whole different thing

    Sadly it’s only in India atm, and doesn’t result in a strike(yet) so I doubt many are going to care.
