#Are any of my ideas clickable?

For the past like 6 months I've been getting those annoying Twitch "bots" to click on phishing links and I want to make a video about them and what I learned about them and the process of phising them. The title of the video will be something like:

"I spent 6 months scamming Twitch's most Annoying Users"

"How I Scammed the biggest Scammers on Twitch"

"How I scammed Twitch's most obnoxious scammers"

Maybe obnoxious could be changed with another keyword

My question really just comes down to packaging. If you think any particular title/thumbnail combo is more enticing, or see a different possibility I could do let me know!

also as always if there are things that are functionally bad about my thumbnails please let me know about that too!

Ok let me adress each bit in order!

#

Question 1: Are any of my ideas clickable?

Technically, EVERY idea IS clickable, with the right presentation. Theres a saying I love and I repeat often, and it's literally just that. It's always presentation. You're spot on that packaging is everything.

#

Question 2:

If you think any particular title/thumbnail combo is more enticing, or see a different possibility I could do let me know!

Yeah I think a few are better than others. Remember, titles and thumbnails require a specific GOAL. and that goal is ALWAYS "something, something, curiosity, something" aka, it doesn't really matter what it is but it does matter that your viewer gets imensely curious reading your titles and seeing your thumbnails. "Keywords" aren't worth your time or attention. Trust me. I chased the SEO alogirtum for so long until I realized that only works if you want search results (and most people DO NOT search for new "entertainment" videos to watch over searching for a specific topic, usually to learn something, and then clicking off). It's best to stick to catching their eyes and attention in their homepage and scroll feed.

With this in mind:

"I spent 6 months scamming Twitch's most Annoying Users" is too long, not as inticing, and doesn't potray the actual video clearly in a concise manner.

"How I Scammed the biggest Scammers on Twitch" is much better, clearer, and more curisoity driven. The question here would likely be "how?" or maybe depending on thumbnail "who did he scam?" and "how did they react?"

"How I scammed Twitch's most obnoxious scammers" is the same as the last one, but implies some sort of justice focus and potentially a more drastic reaction (we associate obnoxious people as having more reactive-qualities, like being whiny, egotisitcal, dramatic, etc, which you're implying a bit more here at the cost of read time)

I'd say after all that, you can combine the last two to get a new title:

"Scamming obnoxious scammers on Twitch."

Or if you want to venture out a bit more, I have a couple more

#

"Tricking Scam Artists with their own Scams" (I'm not sure if thats what this is but it sounds like it)
"Going Undercover to Scam Twitch’s Biggest Scammer/s" (Is that what this is? maybe? *Undercover *will catch a lot of attention!)

Or switch out the term "scammer" with "bot" if thats closer. If it's a type of bot, make that clear as well. Most skin-wearing humans HATE HATE HATE bots and will jump to watch bot dealers get botted themselves 😄

Question 3:

If you think any particular title/**thumbnail **combo is more enticing, or see a different possibility I could do let me know!

So the first thumbnail is very "stalker" ish, and vibes more like tracking down one person. It doesn't imply you're up to any good, in fact, it looks like youre about to stalk a random person like those "prank" videos on YT did a while back lol. I'd not post this one.

Second thumbnail is MUCH BETTER in that it actually shows someone "scmmerish" or "hackerish" depending on context. And it also implies direct conversation with them. BUT its way to much text. It COULD work, some people get so curious they read thumbnails, but i'd also advise against having a lot of text in your thumbnail (and I'd also advise not having a link there, even if its fake. Trust me, from experience, it doesnt end well lol, the comments get flooded with "you link doesnt work" omg lol)

Thrid thumbnail is good but only if the topic is "the issue with twitchs bots/scammers discussed" not "Im getting back at scammer bots on twitch." it vibes more as a discussion or a documentry, or at the very least a reaction

To make a better thumbnail, I'd combine the best elements! Maybe show the map from the first thumbnail and put the scammer in the frame reacting negatively. Maybe he has a text box that says "MY HOUSE?!" something like that. then you cna visually see thaat this scammer is getting scammed and hes reacting horrid because its never happened to him

In the video I was testing to see if the things propegating their scams are bots or if they are people, my conclusion is that they are humans.

#

Completely makes sense about the first one seeming creepy as well

#

I will probably go with one of your titles, I think "Going Undercover to Scam Twitch's Biggest Scammers" is really close to what I did, "Scamming obnoxious scammers on Twitch" is a close second, Ill probably edit the 1st one like you said to include the hacker and have him be upset to give more context. I just get worried about overloading my thumbnails with too many elements
