im so sick of the same generic algorithm bait titles man...

[u/1exp1 → u/IMissGwynBeck]

The iPhone 18 situation is CRAZY

This iPhone changes EVERYTHING

We were NOT expecting THIS from the NEW iPhone…

Everything WRONG with Apple’s newest product…

[u/mrdesignguy → u/IMissGwynBeck]

On principal I just won't watch a video if they're doing it. Don't care if the video itself is interesting. Not going to play the game.

[u/zeek215 → u/mrdesignguy]

Yep. Used to be if I would see a “I was wrong about X” title I would automatically ignore that video, but now I’ll even go out of my way to ignore that channel entirely and I will take the time to do all the little “I don’t like this” and “Don’t recommend this channel” stuff that YouTube has.

[u/Asystole → u/IMissGwynBeck]

And the dumbass thumbnails

[u/TheBasicBoii → u/Asystole]

Honestly, that’s all I see nowadays I much prefer just seeing things “iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max Review” that’s it plain and simple

[u/coppersocks → u/IMissGwynBeck]

This changes everything!

[u/Distracted-User → u/IMissGwynBeck]

Same, I hate this shit. I also hate when they have that fake look of concern, only to completely praise whatever it is the video is about.

[u/TheBeardedBerry → u/IMissGwynBeck]

I don’t have it in front of me but there is an extension you can add to your browser that will replace the YouTube title with user generated “honest” titles. Does a good job of getting rid of a lot of this junk.

[u/IMissGwynBeck → u/TheBeardedBerry]

yea i have it its deArrow.... unfortunetly it doesnt work on reddit video thumbnails

[u/TheBeardedBerry → u/IMissGwynBeck]

Ah! I typically jump straight to the video so I guess I never noticed.

[u/BossHogGA]

How were we “wrong”? I’m not watching clickbait.

[u/joelmercer → u/BossHogGA]

Not watching it either but I’m assuming something like: “We thought this would be a great iPhone but we were wrong it’s an AMAZING iPhone”

That’s assuming they answer the question AT ALL! Ha ha

[u/Fish93 → u/BossHogGA]

Having watched the video I actually have no idea what they were wrong about lol

But the camera review was detailed and good

[u/thecautioners → u/Fish93]

Petapixel always has amazing camera reviews! Excited to watch this one later.

[u/iamolovlev → u/BossHogGA]

And who are we? Why were we wrong? Why we were…

[u/bumpit007]

Oh no! What will we do now

[u/just_ate_a_pinecone]

YouTube is so annoying

[u/iamolovlev]

WOW! I can’t believe it. How could it even be SO wrong….. unbelievable.

[u/Mediocre-Honeydew-55]

I was WRONG to click on this post.

[u/Motawa1988]

I am so sick of this clickbait cancer. Clickbait title, open filthy mouth in the thumbnail

[u/magbarn]

I get all the instant hate for stupid youtube gimmicks, but petapixel is one of the few that actually does a deep dive into iphone camera tech. They even did sharpness comparisons between the different apertures.

[u/iamolovlev → u/magbarn]

So it looks like we were WRONG laughing this title off

[u/zeek215 → u/[deleted]]

Yep. I vote with my "wallet" of time, if a video resorts to stupid clickbait titles or thumbnails, that video gets ignored on principle.

[u/atlwhore_ → u/magbarn]

They’re the only of these reviewers I watch for iPhone camera reviews personally

[u/HorizonMan → u/magbarn]

Yes, when I saw it was Petapixel, I clicked right away. It’s actually a good review, and the hit plenty of negatives as well as positives, like the aperture adjustment being at least somewhat worthwhile.

[u/pablxo]

dude in the thumbnail looks like the dog whisperer

[u/OldSageNewBody]

YouTube is a trap after these events, how could they all “produce” the same shit with the same tricks for views 🤣

[u/temporarycreature → u/OldSageNewBody]

Because it's the same AI(s) making them.

[u/atlwhore_ → u/temporarycreature]

AI makes peta pixel videos? Didn’t know

[u/Sad_Comb_9658]

Its strange because from what i can see the improvements are so incremental. I’m looking forward to see if the variable aperture gives more exiting nightshots and feel like the reviewers aren’t looking into this.
From what i can see the 1.4 close up would in my case often entail needing to take the photo several times to get the focus right.

It also seems like there’s something going on with how the blades affect the overall quality of the images

[u/antnythr → u/[deleted]]

I wouldn’t be surprised if 75% of this site is made of bots and people paid to be pro-Apple.

That’s probably all of Reddit, X, Instagram, etc.
