Frequently Asked Questions
01
What does IsThisClickbait do?
IsThisClickbait helps you see what a YouTube video is really about before you watch it. It gives you a short summary and a quick “is this honest or just hype?” check, so you don’t waste time on the wrong videos.
02
How do I use it?
You install the browser extension, log in, and then use YouTube like normal. When you open a video, you click the IsThisClickbait icon and a side panel appears with the summary and checks. No extra tabs or complicated setup.
03
Do I need any special skills to use it?
No. If you can install a browser extension and click a button, you’re good. The AI does the reading and heavy lifting in the background. You just look at the summary and decide to watch, skim, or skip.
04
What kind of videos does it work best on?
It works best on videos that explain something: how-to videos, tutorials, lectures, product reviews, deep dives, and interviews. If there’s a transcript, the AI can usually turn it into clear points you can scan in a few seconds.
05
Is this only an extension, or is there a web version too?
The extension is the main way people use IsThisClickbait, because it sits right on YouTube. There is also a web app where you can paste links and manage videos in one place, but the core idea is the same: fast summaries and a simple check on how honest the video feels.
06
Will it change how YouTube looks or works?
Not really. YouTube stays the same, and you can watch videos like you always do. IsThisClickbait just adds a side panel when you click the icon, so you can see the summary and checks next to the video if you want them. If you don’t open it, nothing changes.
