I once saw a clickbait side article called 'Kim K Spotted Without Arm!' and the thumbnail was Kim Kardashian at a beach, and they had Photoshopped her right arm off
I'm disappointed I had to scroll so far for this comment Definitely one of the best I can still hear Dan saying it Just as vividly as "you've docked with barry"
The article that says “study reveals women are happier with ugly men” is so outrageously misleading. The actual study is about women feeing more pressure to diet if their husbands are more “attractive” by I don’t know who’s standard. The study is about the unfair pressure on women to look hot when “not as attractive” men apparently feel no pressure to look any better if their wives are “hotter”. I honestly hate whoever wrote that article’s title and framed that study that way. Ugh.
when I saw the first line about the study I was immediately thinking "are women happier with uglier men or are men happier with prettier women". idk if the study went into that but it goes to show how you can easily misinterpret studies
"People get OLD and GAIN WEIGHT and that's DISGUSTING and SHAMEFUL" is just so exhausting. People treating normal parts of being human as moral failings worthy of public contempt.
I feel like a lot of it is randomly generated - it sorta just goes "you won't believe that this {insert person here} is actually {insert unfair societal expectation or shame here}!!! 🤯" Like, it's just using prejudices to gain attention, either from people who actually think like that or from people who find it gross
Like people are doing to Adriana Lima. She's a gorgeous woman, but she's different from what she looked like when she was sixteen and apparently people think it's disgusting.
@@thatbrazilianreader752 I think people just don't like her makeup and eyebrows beacus it makes her look plastic, so people assume shes had plastic surgery. The pics of her without makeup on look totally normal.
No kidding! I’m so annoyed about the extreme aversion to getting old, as people do. Ridiculous how we can’t just love what is natural, especially in a world that’s getting increasingly conscious about not imposing unhealthy beauty standards in weight.
danny still using the squishy bones joke is genuinely so funny to me, i love when creators continue something so seemingly small and simple, like it might not seem like much to most or even to the creator, but to an avid viewer its so fun and amazing
Same, it’s kinda like having an inside joke with your friends that you’ve had for so long that you’ve kind of forgotten how it happened and new friends have been grandfathered into it with zero context
That ugly man study is pure garbage. Who is surprised that a relationship is better when the participants are nice and giving to each other? They assumed that the men are extra nice because they're "ugly" instead of literally any other reason why a man might be nice to their partner. Not to mention 113 couples is too small a sample size and attractiveness is not a measurable metric. It's disappointing how these kinds of "studies" gain traction when they've proven nothing.
Yeah Often studies are simply just small studies done that really show no significant observation but they trick people into thinking it by giving the statistics which don’t actually mean anything without all the info. I took a statistics class and I learned even how I have been mislead before by data. 😅
It seems to me like it’s a “study” meant to say to men “it doesn’t matter what you look like!” But to women “if you’re not pretty enough, or at least prettier than your boyfriend/husband and your relationship fails, it’s your fault”
The study was more based on how women feel more pressure to diet and how they worry more when the husband is more conventionally attractive versus men having a hotter wife and those men feeling 0 need to diet or appear more attractive to be in the same bracket as her. The study was being completely misconstrued as well. Not saying it or any study is perfect I’m just saying it wasn’t the intention of the study or the hypothesis they were trying to test.
I clicked one of these ad titled "Eat this fruit to heal Alzheimer", it shows and image of a tomato getting fingered and when I clicked it, a website opened and apparently they sell soy milk
I actually remember the "Does Bruno Mars is Gay?" article being really popular back in like 2015ish. I was in the Mystic Messenger fandom in 2016/17ish, and there was a big joke of "Does Jumin Han is Gay?" and I can only assume that came from the Bruno article (or game grumps reading the Bruno article lol)
One of the worst kinds are ones that take you to a website with like 20 slides to tell a story, and they give all the background information, and there's an ad in-between each slide.
2:34 To answer that question, when clicking on those ads, they'll more than likely take you to a fake Microsoft, Mcafee, etc. website saying your device has been breached and to call a fake support line. Another RU-vidr by the name of Jim Browning has an interesting video about these but I can't remember the name off the top of my head
I literally have an ad that shows up on one of my mobile games that I’m only playing to get points on fetch. I don’t even have to click on it. It will randomly come up, open safari, and tell me my iPhone has 43 viruses.
@@raeallizae6139 their sibling could be nonbinary, dude. i have a friend who calls her sibling her "sib" because they use they/them pronouns. it's not as weird as you're making it seem
this feels weird as fuck cause im from mexico where the most common gummy bear brand is panditas and now im starting to doubt if they're strawberry flavored as well D:
In the " DO NOT RETIRE IN THESE STATES" one, the man is wearing a kefiye, which symbolises a free Palestine. This goes to show how randomly they choose the images
Keffiyehs are traditional scarves also known as shemaghs, ghutras, or hattahs. Typically worn by Arabic men on their heads. They, as well as watermelons and olives, have more recently become widely associated with Palestinian liberation. (More recently meaning around the 1930s during the "arab revolt")
You’re not incorrect but speaking more specifically keffiyehs are not exclusively Palestinian, however the one the man in the image is wearing IS a Palestinian keffiyeh :)
my favorite type of clickbait article is when they choose a celebrity, put a black-and-white filter on their picture, and say they've died. I remember shortly after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock I saw an ad saying that Will Smith had died
I clicked one article, something about “girl finds mysterious eggs under her bed“ and started reading. It was written like a novel and I was confused but sometimes articles have those for dramatic effect... it was extremely long so I scrolled to the end, it was all fictional. with so many ads in the middle.
my fav clickbait articles are the ones on RU-vid. i’ve gotten so many articles about “the benefits of viagra”. millions of dollars invested into suggestive advertising and they can’t figure out i’m an 18 yr old female.
I know it's just a joke but for anyone wondering, the middle eastern head scarvs are not religious, a lot of middle eastern countries have some iteration of this, how you wear it and the color matters. They wear it mostly because of heat. Apart from protecting your head from the sun, it also keeps you cool by wetting it and tying it around your neck. Also helps with sand and to be honest, shit looks cool as fuck.
@@2Danny2Furious yeah it's called a Kufiye and it's a Palestinian garment 🇵🇸🇵🇸 it symbolizes the struggle of the Palestinian people under the Isreali occupation
back in like 2014-15 i remember seeing a ton that were like "this woman looks JUST like the character in frozen" and it would be a stock image of anna's face poorly photoshopped onto a woman's body lol
to this day cryptic pregnancies scare me so much, imagine not knowing your pregnant for a full 9 months and then you’re in pain and you go to the hospital and BOOM baby
It usually happens in women who have certain medical conditions and don't get periods. My friend doesn't get any periods cos she has endo-something. Fun fact there are some very rare cases of women who have 2 uteruses and 1 has a period but the other was fertilised, and the women go to hospital and find out they're in labour.
The condition is think ur thinking of is endometriosis, i also have it! My gyno warned me that i do have a higher chance of cryptic pregnancies due to endometriosis
@@mewowowye they did, ima put this all the way down on the comment so if you wanna watch the movie to find out don’t click read more and scroll She alien
my favorite clickbait articles are that one sleepover one that always has a different crying girl as the image and the medical anomaly ones where the "medical anomaly" image is clearly a plant of some kind that very obviously isn't growing in or on some human. the most recent one of those i saw had a doctor on one half and a close up of a succulent on the other, but the succulent was so clearly in a plant pot.
that actually was a genuinely good serious criticism of that USF study. they used a far too narrow sample (only young texans?? almost only white couples?) and their raters have no reason to be trusted as an authority on this topic, nor are they a sample of everyday folks (most people do not have college degrees, most people would never even consider going to a private methodist university, the ages of the raters will inevitably skew very young, both of these colleges are PWIs in the south)
Opinions of scientists aren't research! This study just says "Men that are deemed less attractive than their wives by this very few employees of university X seem to be kinder"
*fsu, but yes i agree! def a skewed study lol i was hoping the school i go to is a bit better than that but oh well it happens yk (usf is uni of south florida also)
that's the 30/70 rule. the woman needs to have a 70% share of the combined attractiveness of both people in the relationship. i hope there's an equivalent for women, too.
I mean, technically the post was actually “women like men with better personalities, so the relationship lasts longer”. Idk, you can have a trash personality AND be ugly, but the study made it sound like it was actually “guys who put in the effort get married” lol :3
@@manboy4720 The study in the video was disproven cos it was based on a very limited small sample size of university students in Texas who were all white and in their 20s. Are there any studies to back up the 30/70 rule?
Fun fact: The section of clickbait ads under news articles are called a Chumbox (which comes from word chumming, the use of fish meat as bait for fish)
i've seen several article thumbnails that traumatized me with grotesque body horror stuff out of absolutely nowhere, but one i saw recently was talking about some sort of disease/condition and its one of those fear-mongering ones where they show you a disgusting picture and tell you you have this disease so you'll click on it out of curiosity like a train wreck you can't look away from, except.. the disgusting picture was just a close up of a red bell pepper.. like the inside.. with the seeds... who are you fooling 😭😭😭
the bruno mars one brings me back to the game grumps, there’s an animated grumps clip with it and i highly recommend looking up ‘game grumps bruno mars’
The guy in the thumbnail is a professional tennis player from Thailand. He is wealthy and is known as a ladies man. The girl is a former miss universe. She won the competition when it was held in Thailand. That's how they met.
When I think of clickbait, all I can think of is that one tweet where someone renamed ratatouille “A RAT COOKED MY FOOD AND I LIKED IT⁉️😦 ……*i cried*……”
How are the first 10 seconds so perfect already? The unnecessarily dramatic article about Ninjas hair, the assortment of clickbait, the indecisive hovering of the cursor before taking the bait and the clickbait article zooming in to become the video. Masterful.
the "relationships are happier when the woman is more attractive" thing is so infuriating. surely it can't be that people who might have bonded on something other than strictly looks might have a deeper and more solid connection than people dating on looks alone. couldn't be that. (and I will note, there's a reason people never refer to the reverse, because they basically treat it like an anomaly that 'doesn't really happen'.)
it could also be that men value looks more than women, so they'd be happier in a relationship with a pretty woman rather than a less attractive one. i've seen a lot of women date unattractive men and be okay with it, but i've never seen a dude date an unattractive women and be okay with it.
Personally I think there are a lot of factors involved. I think a big one is that so many women have very low self esteem and they believe that they need to find an "ugly man" so they can be more on their "level" which is really sad. Obviously everyone deserves love but it's just sad that that has to be a reason. Another reason I think is because women just don't value looks as strongly as men do. Personally, if a guy checks all my boxes except being physically attractive I would be more than happy to be with him anyway and I think many women would feel the same. Its not that men ONLY value looks, but I just personally think it's leveled higher as a priority for them. Maybe it's evolutionary, who knows. But there is definitely some truth to the whole theory
I've seen ugly women get in happy relationships easily, while ugly guys are doomed to forever be incels. I'm not sure you really just generalize a whole gender on stuff like this. Think it's a bit more nuanced.
Hell, just from what we know of the study, I feel like there's a lot of questions about the methodology to not even get it to "huh, that's interesting" quality.
I tried to click an article that titled something like "person terrified when expert saw these eggs under their bed" I still dont know what kind of eggs they are, all i know is when the cops saw the eggs they couldn't believe it.
It's insane how many of these articles I scroll by on RU-vid now. "Horse gives birth to foal but it's not what you think" or "they called the police" or stuff
It's getting legitimately difficult to for me to search literally anything on RU-vid because no matter what I type the results are always like 30% graphic clickbait videos of gross medical conditions, sometimes with someones face in the corner
From what I know, if you click on the ad it just brings you to like this whole story that ends with the cops finding some medical chip (?) in the horse, and at the very very end of the story it's revealed that the whole thing isn't real and is a work of fiction
There's literally one that was a picture of a woman hugging a horse and the caption is "horse keeps hugging pregnant woman and you'll never guess who's baby it is" like huh?? I never clicked on it but YOU WHAT?
I love how "They found that in instances where theman was less attractive he was likely to compensate with acts of kindness like presents, sexual favours or extra housework." As if to say that "attractive" men are less likely to give you presents, care about your sexual needs, and help around the house...... in other words.... apparently "attractive" people are asshole partners? xD
FUN FACT! My old music teacher is elementary school sat in front of Larry bird during her highschool years, she would always said his legs were so long and took up all the space near her desk
The funny thing about the world shaking discovery of the green gummy bears flavor is it says it ON THE BAG. ALL OF THE COLORS FLAVORS ARE CLEARLY DISPLAYED ON THE BACK OF THE BAG
The same is true of the UK's biggest supermarket, British multinational corporation Tesco - who were so big at one point that they had a quarter of the UK's entire GDP flowing through their stores. The name is a combination of the first 3 letters of TE Stockwell (the name of the tea company which the founder used to sell at a small market stall during his teenage years) and the first two letters of his surname COhen. TE S + CO became Tesco.
my least favorite of these is definitely the one that’s like “vet calls police after seeing horse’s ultrasound” and the picture is a human ultrasound photoshopped on the horse
...the amount of times I have seen or heard something that insinuated bea$tial!ty this YEAR is concerning. The Twitter guy (which I refused to watch), those weird ass ads, merely looking up fanart of any character in a game that has ANIMALS... idk how any furry hater or whatever can look at a kid drawing a humanized dog with big ol anime eyes and think they're the problem. When the ones above are literally invading every space known to man.
I read this article that said “Her dog did something that changed her life forever” it was a whole 30 minute read just to say that her dog was pregnant 💀
The point of all of these clickbait ads are purely to drag you to pages filled with more ad space. They generally link to articles with a less compelling spin on the named topic.
i remember reading one of these articles for my grandpa because he clicked on one, and he got bored because it was like extremely slow paced and you had to click some "next" button for the next paragraph, but he still wanted to know what happened so i read it for him😭 a dog was smuggling drugs into the hospital for a patient or some shit
The “ugly man” in the thumbnail and at 4:21 is Thailand’s former pro tennis player Paradorn Srichaphan. Why they went with him specifically as their clickbait, I have…no clue.
I saw an ad that said “Janet Jackson’s baby was adorable, but today he looks INSANE” LOL and it just led to a slideshow of babies. Nothing about Janet Jackson or her poor not-insane child.
@GachaKelloggz I think you may be misinterpreting that. It didn't seem like he was poking fun at the kuffiyeh itself but rather the article having a completely unrelated image instead. Also, like the other commenter has already said, he probably didn't know that it was a cultural garment instead of a religious one.
one time i got "researchers find long lost plane in iceberg - after seeing movement, they turn pale" and i did not click on it but i wonder what was behind there
