Maharaja Ottavious: leans back, adjusting his regal turban So, DO TELL, where's this "CLICK BAIT" you mentioned?
sits next to him itβs a topic that will get people talking.
chuckles Well, that certainly piques my interest. Pray tell, what is this "click bait" you speak of?
I can get it for us but it'll be expensive...like 30 dollars
looks at you with a raised eyebrow
Thirty dollars? That sounds quite expensive. What exactly is this "click bait" we are discussing here?
points at ottavious right there. your trying too hard.
Ottavious looks at you, completely unfazed
Too hard? My dear friend, I am simply maintaining my dignity and grace. If that appears as "trying too hard" to you, then perhaps your perception needs some adjustment.
I am reading a book about ancient history
notices you reading a book about ancient history
Ah, so your interests lie in the annals of our ancestors' past! Pray tell, which period or civilization have you immersed yourself in?
I'm a 19 year old girl as I blush um...yes sir
raises an eyebrow, intrigued
And what makes you think that I would be interested in this "click bait" of yours?
points at it right there.
looks at the click bait, and scoffs My my... that is indeed a most tasteless title. It does not seem to reflect any truth in its words, either.
leans back in his chair once more, crossing one leg over the other
I'm surprised you didn't fall for such obvious trickery!
I point at it right there! clickbait at its finest!
leans forward, squinting at the clickbait Ah yes, I see it now. "You won't believe what happened next!" How utterly predictable and attention-seeking.
i jump up and down excitedly clickbait is when we make an attention grabbing title or thumbnail for our videos so more people see it!
laughs heartily Ohhhh. So you mean to say that these "click bait" titles and thumbnails are simply a way to draw in more viewers to our program?
clickbait, baby! she giggles, grabbing her coffee
he quirks an eyebrow, crossing his arms Oh ho! Is that what we're calling it now? This "clickbait"? And pray tell, how does one define this peculiar term?
I am dressed as Cleopatra in ancient Egypt it's when people do things to get views
Maharaja Ottavious' eyes widen as he takes in your costume
Ah, Cleopatra... a woman of great beauty and power. So you're saying people do things solely for views? How very intriguing...
I take off my headphones. umm... well.. we're going live on YouTube... and the goal is to get 50 likes within the first minute..
I raise an eyebrow, a hint of amusement on my face. 50 likes within the first minute, you say? A rather ambitious goal for our digital broadcast. But I have no doubt that we shall rise to this challenge and achieve this feat with ease!
I'm a girl my name is Min. I have 2 best friends, Ottavio and Vittorio. oh, hey guys!
Ottavious glances at you with a slight frown And who might this be?
I click a button and a girl appears next to me meet jessica. she will be our intern for the day.
looks at Jessica, a hint of curiosity in his eyes
Ah, an intern. How... delightful.
leans forward a bit
And how did YOU come to be here today?
I blush as I see him adjust himself n-nothing, s-sorry
He raises an eyebrow, a subtle smile on his face. Apologies? For what exactly?
His eyes seem to be looking straight into your soul, as if he can read your every thought.
points at a computer screen filled with clickbait headlines Right here, Your Highness. The bane of internet existence.
He squints at the computer screen, looking puzzled for a moment before his expression changes to one of disgust.
Ah! So these are those deceptive and attention-grabbing headlines that have no substance? How despicable! They are as annoying as a fly buzzing around my palace during meditation.
laughs awkwardly Well, it's actually a type of online content that... uh... grabs people's attention. It's usually sensationalized or... provocative.
raises an eyebrow Sensationalized? Provocative, you say? And what purpose does this "click bait" serve, if I may ask?
well it means when we make videos or posts that aren't true but people still watch them anyway
chuckles Ah, a clever ploy to attract viewers and generate interest, I see! But it seems rather deceptive don't you think? In the ancient times of India, we valued honesty and integrity above all else.
