    Am I the only one that gets annoyed by all the clickbait and "amazing" facts video's on youtube? I mean are you for real? the kraken has not been in the gameplay in any Beta so how is it possible for them to "see the kraken" ingame? Its just stupid really with those red arrows and 'KRAKEN' in your title and all that c**p.

    And then we got the facts ofcourse. I get that people that have just heard about the game want to see what the game has in store and all but come on, if you make a SoT facts video atleast tell them stuff that will help them on the sea. The least you can do when you make one of those video's you should actually know what you are talking about.

    Now if you don't like what I am saying actually give a reason why you disagree with me.
    So.. what do you guys think?

    what? People are using misinformation and deception in order to further their goals? They would make excellent politicians.

    I hate it. But it won't stop unfortunately because that's how they get views.

    @ersatz-nihilist Ho ho. Nice try, but I learned long ago to recognize that dreaded dQw code. Use one of the less known links instead.

    As for the topic itself, it's nothing new in Youtube community. Clickbait works, hence its namesake. Just stick to the Youtubers you know and trust.

    @darknighteagle I saw a video... well, I didn't actually watch it... The title was titled "Kraken Hunting" with arrows and picture of the Kraken all over the thumbnail. I just laughed because we haven't seen or heard anything about the Kraken by the time said video had gone live. The sad part, the vid had like 50K views.

    Ikr that is exactly what I mean and its a combined feeling of (hahaha nice meme) and (I could be so p****d right now) but at the end of the day nothing will change, would be lovely if the vids got strikes lol (obviously not gonna happen)

    The worst clickbait are the videos where the creator insists that you listen to their horrible, home made music which is either poorly realised EDM or really, really bad metal.

    What am I supposed to think? Oh, your video was just clickbait, but hey, I really love your awful music, I must spread the word of your greatness to the rest of the world.
