Locked on Kentucky is notorious for misleading clickbait titles. In the last 3 months, there have been 7 players receiving the "Player X to Kentucky?" video title, and one of them didn't even had a question mark. Zero of those guys committed. Of the players we have gotten in that timeframe, ZERO had videos speculating or predicting we would get them. There were FOUR videos with the exact same title "Caleb Wilson to UK?" FOUR. I have been avoiding that channel like the plague because of this practice. They are not alone, and I guess it works, but it's so annoying.

If the title ends with a (?) mark symbol, I perceive that to mean “discussing the possibility”. I have no problem with the headlines.

If you do, you can open the menu on the video and suggest to no longer see content from the channel. YouTubers will use whatever titles helps them get views from the algorithm.

Yea I don't really see that as misleading either.

90 percent of YouTube has turned to trash because it's all about getting clicks now. There's only so much good content that can be put out, but now everyone and their brother wants to be a professional YouTuber so you get a bunch of garbage put out just to get clicks.
 
Is this what we're crying about now days.
If something says Jim Bob Smith to Kentucky? I look at that as maybe potential discussion about the topic..
If it says Jim Bob Smith to Kentucky! That would be clickbait. I mean those shows get their views off talking about potential portal players the same way a thread is made here to discuss players who we aren't even connected to.

Yeah it’s all speculation. More than anything it shows little information gets out of our camp and any info of players considering us comes from other teams they are considering as well.
