Clickbait Pandemic: Youtube had a fake trailer problem

Clickbait Pandemic is an Anomaly happening on YouTube right now. YouTube hasn’t solved their Elsagate problem yet, but here is another hindrance to making this place feel safe.

These YouTube channels are preying on Geeks who just want to watch a trailer of an upcoming movie from big franchises like Marvel and DC. They also scam fans of canceled TV shows that there will be a new Season. They can do these fake trailers by using the previous movies of actors of upcoming films and editing them with footage from unrelated movies to make these fake trailers.

I don’t mind fake trailers if they are nothing but fan concepts, but these fake trailers are clearly clickbaiting people. The most annoying part is that these channels even got verified by YouTube.

Screen Culture, an Indian channel, is one of the most likely suspects. So many people got duped into thinking this Indian clickbait channel was authentic because it was verified.

Clickbait is the name of the Business for Screen Culture

How can a scammy bootleg trailer channel like this one get verified in the world? That means these clickbait channels are making money from these copyrighted materials. These fake trailer channels seemed to be an elaborate group of content farms. A single content creator won’t be able to make these because it will be overwhelming for one person.

Even though the Agatha House of Harkness doesn’t have a trailer or teaser. Many individuals have nevertheless got deceived into watching these bootleg edits.

 

If you do not want to be scammed by these fake trailer channels, Just subscribe to the official YouTube channels of  Film companies, TV Networks and Streaming services. I have nothing against fan trailers if the title and description says it is but these  clickbaiters are telling people they are real.

  1. I always fell for those Screen culture trailers. I wish there is a way to block that annoying channel.

  2. Fake movie trailers are raking in thousands of dollars a month for the entertainment industry. As long as people continue to fall for his clickbait, he will continue to be successful. It’s time to ban screen culture! Report him!

    LOL Rise of Morgan Stark? Not gonna happen with Ironheart around.

  3. Yellow Grass Prod.

    It’s a shame that the screen culture channel is so terrible yet getting so much success. Why is no one copyright striking them?

  4. In spite of the creative editing, I’ve come to associate Screen Culture with “clickbait” because of their use of the word “official” in their titles and descriptions, despite the fact that their trailers aren’t even legitimate. I fell for their tricks so many times. I wish there is a way to block channels from appearing from the search results.

  5. They click bait because no one will click their videos if they say “concept trailer” or “Fan Trailer” they find a way to cheat the system.

  6. I guess Youtube let it go for some time until it didn’t go in public. Until that, Youtube and content fars earned a lot of money. I hope movie companys can sue Yotube.

  7. When Miss Marvel was airing, I always get tricked by this channel’s fake episode trailers. I fell for it I lost count. I wish there is a way to block channels from search results.
