Athene Wins.... And so do I!

Athenewins is one of the most popular Youtube sensations right now. His storyline is quite good, and his sidekick is priceless. I really enjoy his videos. His titles and thumbnail pictures are quite intriguing. But seldom have anything to do with his videos. Has he betrayed his viewers or is this what we all must do to get viewers in the hundreds of thousands?

I put this theory to the test yesterday when I posted "Athene's Girlfriend gets naked for Cammy". Within minutes of posting the video I had 54 views, which for me is very good. Today the video has hit almost 300 views and I wonder why? Well I'm sure it has a lot to do with the title of the video. As well as the thumbnail I used. Keep in mind that the thumb nail and title had nothing to do with the video that I posted, but it got people to watch.

Do I have to go to this new low? Do I have to play dirty just to get people to watch my content? You tell me. Truth be told, when I'm surfing the youtube network for something to watch I scan through the videos until I find an interesting thumbnail that is attached to an intriguing title. Others must do the same. And if that is true, do viewers get mad after they find out that they have been dooped into clicking on a video that claims to be something that its not? You be the judge.
