YouTube Cracks Down on Clickbait Titles and Thumbnails
On December 18, 2024, YouTube introduced a crackdown on misleading titles and thumbnails, starting with India. The platform is targeting videos, especially breaking news, that promise content but fail to deliver.
The new policy aims to eliminate “egregious clickbait,” such as titles like “the president resigned!” when the content doesn’t match. Initially, violating content will be removed without strikes, as YouTube continues its efforts to reduce misinformation and improve the viewer experience with AI-driven moderation tools.

Haliey Welch Responds to $Hawk Rug Pull Lawsuit
Haliey Welch addressed the class-action lawsuit filed by investors claiming they were victims of a rug pull after the $Hawk meme coin’s collapse. The coin, launched in early December, saw its value drop rapidly, leading to accusations of mass-selling by creators for profit.
In a Twitter/X statement, Welch expressed her seriousness about resolving the issue and cooperating with the legal team representing affected investors. A spokesperson clarified that Welch didn’t create the $Hawk project and had no control over the outcome, stating she was only paid an initial sponsorship fee. Despite the controversy, Welch plans to continue her podcast, Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch.
