It's just standard headlines like for any evening tabloid we saw forever, so nothing strange about it.

On a serious note, the best way to avoid clickbait is to not watch YouTube to waste time, but for very specific interests/reasons you search for. And if the video sucks, nope out and find a better one and watch it all the way through. After a while YouTube's algorithms will pick up on it and start filling up your home page/what's next with better related stuff with which you can then waste time on. If you don't train the algorithm, YouTube gives you the same garbage that entertains/baits the lowest common denominator.

From time to time I sign in to YouTube under my kids' accounts in the hopes that they will discover better things than some of the things they searched for.
Even if the piano player can't play, keep the party going.
