Glad you pointed it out and his crappy course.

You’d just be wrong. Because the title isn’t clickbait at all. It’s accurate.
If anything, most other media writers have correctly been even more harsh on it.
If you wanted to give Humane a ridiculous amount of leeway you could argue it’s a good concept but in Beta form but that’s not how they’re selling it to the general consumer. They’re charging them $700 and telling them it’s a consumer ready product.
By that standard it’s absolutely failed and if anything, the title could be far harsher.
I have no idea about Humane’s product or whether MKBHD’s review is accurate.
I’m simply making the point that “The worst product I’ve reviewed… For Now” is a bit clickbaity.
Ie it is specifically worded in a way that encourages clicks.
I'm sure there are some definitions of clickbait that don't require that, but at least colloquially with people I talk to, it's assumed that clickbait necessarily engages in deceptive behavior where the content is not aligned with the title / thumbnail.
In this case, it's certainly designed to draw attention and get a viewer to click, but it's also the thesis of the video. He literally considers it to be the worst product he's ever reviewed, and thinks that they may iterate on it to improve the functionality in the future.
