Late to the party on this one but scared Gigi is so good
Can we please not censor titles like this, so we do not encourage clickbait? Thanks.
The submission title – minus my descriptive suffix – is copied from the video and pretty accurately aligns with the video’s contents. The formatting of “hardcoded strikethrough” is less than stellar (and varies depending on what you’re viewing the text with, which isn’t great) but that still seems pretty minor. What title would you suggest?
I understand, I am merely suggesting clickbait not be promoted via any means, including title obfusication via character formatting copied directly from the source. Perhaps just replacing the formatted characters with regular plain text characters instead.
Hardcoded strikethrough is hard to read on my mobile device, as it has 6 lines through it rather than just one line. It might as well just be full block characters.
Hmmmm I personally think the title is better with the strikethrough (ignoring formatting problems) than without it, as it makes it more descriptive without obfuscating information or misleading about the content. All of these three title alternatives are less descriptive imo:
- Gigi screams give me ear problems
- Gigi screams give me life
- Gigi screams give me ear problems / life
I guess we might just have different ideas of what counts as clickbait. The title isn’t deceptive or misleading about the contents of the video, doesn’t obfuscate important information for the sake of click-through (“one weird trick!” instead of saying the relevant keyword) etc. So to me there’s no “bait”.
It’s unfortunate that the strikethrough doesn’t render well on your phone though, it actually renders better on mine (it looks nearly “native”!) than on my PC lol. I’ve done a few character swaps in the past for the clip titles that use 𝓦𝓮𝓲𝓻𝓭 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼 instead of normal characters - I guess I can start doing the same strikethrough, which I did already consider doing before I pressed submit but figured people would say if it didn’t work well (which you did!).
Hm, I see what you mean. I suppose a normal strikethrough would be fine, its just whatever strikethrough was used I literally could not read it at all. The title looked like:
“Gigi screams give me e████████████ life”
As you can probably see, this was extremely clickbait looking to me, thus my quite visceral reaction. A normal ~ strikethrough is fine, its just whatever character were used for it this time did not translate well on my device. Thank you for being considerate though.
“Gigi screams give me e████████████ life”
Haha, totally understandable then
Thank you for being considerate though.
No worries, thanks for bringing it up!
“You opened it, why would you get scared of yourself?”
Cecilia has never seen a Korone horror stream, apparently
(On that topic, now I kind of want a horror collab between Gigi and Korone to bring the apocalypse on my ears)
