That was my fear. We are only on track to replace it with something worse.

Also, YouTube has created a scenario where thumbnails and titles have to basically be clickbait. I don’t blame the people just trying to make a living but I’ll avoid engaging.

Absolutely! I feel like they actually have the opposite effect here in Lemmy. People seem to read the click bait title and just down vote without engaging at all. I might need to start tweaking the titles when I post them here.

I would keep the title but add a comment.
