Top 10 Worst Types of YouTube Videos

YouTube once changed its algorithm to promote videos depending on watch time. It was intended to address the issue of "Reply girls," but I am astonished by the amount of clickbait that still exists and how YouTube continues to promote it. I'm tired of watching the likes of Jake Paul and Logan Paul, the biggest YouTubers, create clickbait videos and earn thousands, even millions, from it.

If you're someone who relies on clickbait or misleading tactics to entice people to click, I urge you to stop and instead focus on creating original content for once.

I definitely see the pros and cons of reaction videos. The pros to me are that you actually have people laughing along with what's funny or they share the same opinions and feelings towards what they're reacting to as you do.

The cons of reaction videos are that they basically lack originality. They clickbait their videos, and half of what they clickbait isn't even in the actual video. You could just sit there and find them doing absolutely nothing the whole time. Or you have those people who react to themselves and pretend they don't even know what's going on. I don't know. Maybe it's to keep their viewers interested?

Seriously, no one wants to watch a boring 15-minute video of someone playing Minecraft. Minecraft isn't even that cool. Also, the people that make these videos are mostly annoying 9-year-olds with terrible audio and ear-bleeding voices, who scream every time they die.

Why do the people who make these videos think they're so cool? Just because you built an automatic door or something isn't that big of a deal. To all the people who make videos of them playing Call of Duty, Minecraft, or any game, no one wants to hear you constantly call yourself a badass, because anyone can do what you just did.

I really wish videos of people playing video games would just disappear from YouTube.

I understand trolls are sometimes really bad, but surely anyone would agree that tricking children into watching porn is too far. I guess not - Unnamed Google User Remade

These are Elsagate videos. That means a video that tricks a kid into watching it by using family-friendly characters like Elsa but contains horrible, disgusting stuff.

I remember watching those videos as a kid. Now I can never look at Frozen and Spiderman the same way again.

Mundane tasks are funny when sarcastic. Music videos are mostly bad, but some can be good (e.g., Starbomb). Makeup tutorials at the very least have a point. But what is the point of unboxing?

What would you rather do? Feel the satisfaction of opening something yourself or watching someone else do it? Yeah, I thought so.

Is unboxing even a word? Anyway, it's boring watching spoiled people getting free things and bragging about it.

My 9-year-old cousin watches these all the time! I hate these! They're just pre-teen or 10-year-old kids unboxing toys, reviewing, and playing with them.

Sometimes they're even making Disney and Marvel characters such as Spiderman and Elsa change a Baby Alive doll's poopy diapers. That is just so wrong on so many levels!

The worst of these things is the surprise egg videos. I swear, they're everywhere. Like, "Spider-Man Play-Doh Mega Egg Surprise!" or "Elsa surprise eggs with Frozen fun toys!" It never ends.

My playmate is obsessed with these. He even forces me to give him my laptop time just so he can watch Ryan Toys Review when his iPhone has a low battery in the worst-case scenario!

Setting the track speed to 1.25 - a feature made readily available by YouTube at the push of a button - is considered amazing by thousands. It's clickbait, low-effort, and over-glorified. In many cases, the Nightcore version of a song will receive more praise than the original.

You heard that right: the person who set the track speed to 1.25 (again, a feature made readily available by YouTube at the push of a button) is credited more than the actual original artists. Imagine how they must feel. Then there are the fans who blindly follow this trend, regarding it as amazing and treating anyone who thinks otherwise like trash.

With the exception of the Fine Bros, reactor channels are doing something illegal that YouTube doesn't care about. These reactors are basically using other people's videos - videos that required a lot of work to create - and they monetize them by using the entire video just to make money. This is proof that the human race can only count on money.

I am so tired of everyone making Fortnite videos. I hate that game so much.

I hate Fortnite and its players.

I don't get the point of this game.

I really don't know what to say about these videos. I don't feel disgusted. I just feel odd and a bit weirded out by them.

Caillou pulls the fire alarm and gets grounded, Caillou fails school and gets grounded... that's about it. Oh, and to all you GoAnimate kids, please, for the love of God, learn to animate properly while you're thinking of a more original story.

GoAnimate vs. Actual Talent. Well, GoAnimate wins because they have more views than actually good videos.

Very lazy garbage. For hire, assaults, grounded videos, and whatever else just needs to go away.

It sucks like the Tide Pods challenge and other challenges. It sucks.

I am no beauty expert, but I know from experience that just because you're a female doesn't mean people should take makeup tips from you. Hell, some videos will make your friends think you got a job at the circus rather than going to prom.

Boring. I want to watch videos about cartoons and anime.

Makeup is boring. I want to see a gaming video!

When you can play a game, why watch someone else play it and hear their ear-bleeding voices? You will not even learn anything (even those related to the game) from these videos.

All you do is watch someone playing a game for 10 minutes and listen to someone saying random things. You can't react to them or learn something from these videos. So what is the point?

Why the hell are they this stupid?!

They want to go to heaven or hell.
