Was it JoJo or his illustrious roommate Scuba Steve Kyle who kept a flight attendant in the vlog after she asked to not be shown?

These boys are going to cross the wrong one someday.
That was kyle

They chose the career. Not like they are being forced to be content creators. People that view YouTube videos are YouTube’s customers. Youtube, Tiktok,and Meta hold all the cards and they know it.

Most vloggers don’t have any type of a customer list.
Not only that but he has gained 400K subs in about a year off of the shorts. That should be more valuable than any check youtube could cut for a video, but somehow he's still getting the same views as he would without the extra subs.

His defense was that she was joking. Maybe she was but I guarantee he didn't ask to find out. Kyle really is an mole. I still can't get over when a security guard told him he couldn't film in some random mall, then he turned the camera back on as he was out of sight and implied the security guard was a fool for telling him not to film. There was no reason for him to film in the mall in the first place other than to fill time in his video. JoJo is flawed but I don't think he's nearly as bad as Kyle.

I'm not defending the quality of his videos, but for good or ill, some of them do get tons of clicks.

No matter what I think of him, or the entire notion of vlogging as a career, he deserves to get cut in on the money YouTube is making.
YouTube doesn’t pay for clicks it pays for watch time. If all those clicks watch a longer video for less than a minute or two it will tank his channel faster than no clicks at all

His channel is going to tank no matter what. Kyle drops a lame video yesterday that was nothing but concrete footage and verbal nonsense and still managed to get 14k more views than JoJo's video. The writing is on the wall, he better start looking for a way back to being a cast member.

I remember reading he was supposedly offered to be a friend of aladdin, but then I saw him dresses as aladdin for some reason and tbh he doesn’t look very good which surprised me. Not sure he'd be a good official one

He did play Aladdin, in the January - March, 2020 timeframe. He shared photos of himself on Instagram working as Aladdin in MK and at Morocco Pavilion and he also was in Fantasmic.

Interesting, maybe those are the pics I've seen. I didn't think he looked that good

If you plan on watching today's video to see what his thoughts on clickbait are again, spoiler alert, he justifies it and plans on continuing it.

Successful Disney vloggers don't clickbait, and their video is showcasing their destination, and let the destination be the star like the 2 scoops of ice cream on a Sunday. Then they add their personality like the whip cream on top to make it even better.

Jojo and Kyle videos are like a cup of bland expired moldy whip cream with no ice cream. But they are trying hard to sell it as a Sunday. Is not even good enough to serve as a puppicino.

My main point is that I want Ice Cream and may get it later tonight.

Thing is, yes clickbait is required to some degree. But it needs to bear some resemblance to to the content of the video. There's a fine line of using some clever titles and intriguing thumbnails, to out right lieing or exaggerating things.

Most successful channels are authentic and balance clickbait and being honest about the content .

If you have to lie and outright cheat your followers to view your vids then you have a problem with your content.

This is an example of what I'd call decent clickbait

Yes the thumbnail is photoshopped, but it simply and clearly shows what the video is about in a visual way without actually lieing. Its really a form of advertising these days and if a product was advertised like some of jojos or Kyle's vids the ad would be stopped.

Right now their strategy is to record something and then figure out a way to get people to click on it. Maybe the reality is sometimes you don't have anything interesting to do and you could take a few days to build up a list of things to check out the next time you're in a park. Someone like PMM who doesn't use any clickbait only really visits each park about once or twice a month and then over half of his audience ends up watching.

Even those that hate watch waiting for a heart attack still know what his videos are about. Keep in mind he dropped a video 4 hours after Kyle and 2 after JoJo and already has more views. Proof is in the pudding that he inhales.

I like when he says he's bringing food home as if that makes us think he doesn't overeat. The 300 pounds of excess large he's lugging around says it all. But to his credit he avoids most of the traps the other Orlando vloggers fall into with their videos.

If creator’s have interesting content, then they can have honest corresponding titles and thumbnails. If someone posts a title like “I saw a fire at Disney World” and they did witness a real unexpected fire, it would be an honest title. If they just saw regular pyrotechnics that are part of a show, then it’s intentional deception, to trick people to watch what is probably lousy, boring content. If creators want to use interesting titles, then they need to have interesting content to connect with it, and not just another day at the park.

I agree. Yesterday's video is now titled "Today didn't go as planned at Disney" while during the whole video he's talking about how it's a spontaneous day and he didn't have any plans. You might click on the video thinking something went wrong when in fact it's the complete opposite. Unless you're oblivious to clickbait or just a huge fan of the vlogger, there's only so many times you're going to click on a misleading title before you just start skipping over.

I think he's having to reign in his grander clickbait impulses. When I first noticed today's video, the title referred to starting an OnlyFans and had a shirtless thumbnail. It's now been updated to something more neutral.
