Unlike his peers\u2019 content, the tournament menace\u2019s YouTube videos prove that not every title has to be \u201cabsolutely OP loadout\u201d clickbait. The meta (\u201cmost effective tactics available\u201d) is a popular term in gaming. In Warzone, you follow the meta to choose weapons that are considered best for winning games and getting kills. In content creation, you can also follow a meta to play the algorithm for views. If you\u2019re a Warzone fan, you\u2019re probably not just familiar with the in-game meta. You\u2019ve probably seen the YouTube meta, too. It\u2019s become a running gag within the community, where every day a new video is uploaded with caps-locked assurances that some gun is \u201cOP.\u201d This has understandably frustrated some fans, as it\u2019s become harder to figure out what\u2019s actually good when every gun seems to be \u201cBROKEN.\u201d Warzone YouTube meta: \u201cOP\u201d loadouts galore From just a cursory glance at the Warzone ecosystem on YouTube, you get a sense of the titling meta immediately. The majority of titles have big letters and loud promises, while the accompanying headers often show a shocked face and a flashy gun. No one can really blame creators for following this trend. It can be annoying for fans, but you can\u2019t knock the hustle if that\u2019s the way the algorithm works. Fortunately, it might not have to be this way. As shown by one of Warzone\u2019s all-time top earners, DiazBiffle, you don\u2019t necessarily need to spam clickbait to get views and subscribers. Warzone pro DiazBiffle breaks the YouTube clickbait loadout meta As you can see from a screengrab of Biffle\u2019s videos, he\u2019s basically gone the opposite direction of the typical YouTube meta. His titles, like \u201csmoothest warzone player\u201d and \u201cmy owen is deadly,\u201d scarcely have key words. His headers have simple gun POVs and even full loadout setups, with no surprised face in sight. While Biff\u2019s reputation as a pro who, nonchalantly dominates tournaments, certainly helps \u2013 he\u2019s also not the only creator using this softer strategy. Another CoD streamer, Futives, has a similarly toned-down system on YouTube. He\u2019s also found success with casual titles and headers, proving you don\u2019t just need to be winning tournaments for people to trust your channel. What you do probably need, though, is an engaged community that trusts your content regardless of your branding\u2019s sparkle and volume. So, we don\u2019t blame anyone for trying to pull in views by gaming the algorithm with the common meta \u2013 but maybe these examples prove you don\u2019t to call every loadout \u201cOP\u201d and \u201cBROKEN\u201d to continue getting clicks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone star Biffle proves YouTube videos don\u2019t need \u201cOP loadout\u201d clickbait Twitter, @DiazBiffle \/ YouTube \/ ActivisionStar streamer DiazBiffle isn\u2019t following the Call of Duty: Warzone meta outside of the Pacific.
