Jason was invited to the Portal Games Vlog by Ignacy Trzewiecek to talk about growing online communities and getting more attention for the things we do. In particular, we discuss the virtues and vices of using clickbait video titles, defined here as any title meant to elicit negative emotions. Ignacy and I disagree in many respects, but it was nice to have a fruitful, intelligent conversation.
