. As per the video-streaming platform, it aims to tackle an issue known as egregious clickbait. It occurs when a

video has a title or thumbnail which does not match the content of the video itself.

The platform also gives some examples of egregious clickbait. This might happen when a video which is titled “the president resigned!” does not address the issue. In another instance, a video thumbnail saying “top political news” does not include any coverage of the news.

notes that such practices may leave viewers deceived or frustrated, especially at times when they turn to the platform to watch content for important or time-sensitive information. To mitigate this issue, the video-streaming platform will start removing content which violates this policy but will not issue a strike at this point in time. It wants to ensure that creators have time to adjust to the new enforcement updates. However, it will prioritise its enforcement efforts on new video uploads soon.

These measures will be rolled out in India over the coming months, the company adds.

This development builds upon the educational efforts against Community Guidelines warnings
