BrookeAB explains how \u201chorrible\u201d clickbait YouTube videos helped her Popular Twitch streamer BrookeAB has once again opened up about dealing with \u2018clickbait\u2019 YouTube channels who use stream content in unusual ways \u2013 including overly-suggestive highlights. Some of Twitch\u2019s most popular broadcasters regularly have to deal with YouTube channel taking content from their stream \u2013 being it highlights or just outright full-length streams \u2013 and re-uploading them with some sort of inciting title or thumbnail. That fate has fallen on BrookeAB, especially in the early days of her relationship with NRG esports member Mason \u2018Symfuhny\u2019 Lanier. The popular broadcaster, who recently joined 100 Thieves has, again, spoken out about the problem \u2013 noting that they also helped spark her own channel\u2019s growth. BrookeAB currently has over 556,000 followers on Twitch.500 Brooke joined the Courage and Nadeshot podcast to talk about joining the 100 Thieves, when the topic of clickbait YouTube channels came up. \u201cYouTube clickbait, whatever, it doesn\u2019t bug me that much until it gets to the point where it\u2019s like over-sexualizing things,\u201d she said, before Courage brought up the unusual thumbnails. \u201cRight, and I\u2019m like, my family is going to type my name into YouTube and this is going to pop up and it\u2019s like \u2018BrookeAB\u2019s hottest and thickest moments\u2019 or something. I\u2019m like, hold-up, my dad\u2019s (going to see this)\u201d the popular streamer added. However, after seeing that there was a clear market for her content on YouTube, BrookeAB explained that it was actually good PR that someone was putting her name out there. \u201cFor what it\u2019s worth, they\u2019re good advertisement. You\u2019re being seen, they\u2019re putting you out there, you\u2019re getting millions of views on these videos that you wouldn\u2019t normally,\u201d she added. \u201cThat part, I get why they do it,\u201d but she still described the thumbnails and titles as \u201chorrible.\u201d It\u2019s not the first time the popular content creator has spoken about her experiences with these channels, however, as she previously labeled them as \u201cgross.\u201d Whether or not that will prompt these channels into changing their ways remains to be seen, but it seems unlikely considering it works out well for them \u2013 even if they\u2019re not being wholly truthful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
