I don’t complain about clickbait or sensationalistic thumbnails/titles anymore. I just unfollow.
If it’s a systemic issue, I uninstall the app entirely. That’s partly what led me to Nostr.
I subscribe to the great master of fiction, Elmore Leonard’s rule that a writer can use 1 exclamation point per 100,000 words.
When every title of every video ends with an exclamation point, I know I don’t belong anymore. There’s a special place in hell for those who artificially manufacture emotional responses in others for a living.
