I won’t watch this clickbait

Are you referring the title here on Lemmy (ported from YouTube), or are you referring to any video, in general, that uses this practice? If it's the latter, why punish the creator? The need for clickbait is more of an environmental requirement for success created by YouTube. I can't fault a creator for trying to succeed.

forks who succeed the prior are exactly what we call democracy.

Hm. Democracy, by definition, is rule by the majority. A smaller fork gradually becoming larger and more successful than the prior, thereby eating up a larger chunk of the market, is really more of an example of competition. The larger fork doesn't have any say over the smaller forks. It is somewhat of an analogy to democracy, perhaps, in that people "vote with their feet" by moving to the fork that they want to succeed, but it breaks down in that you don't have one, or the other — both can exist in tandem.

I don't click on clickbait i'm absolutely sure it's misleading or wrong.

If someone has a valid point, tone it way down, i don't expect anything serious out of it.

"Why blue isn't a color" isn't something i'm interested in.

Well, if you didn't click on it, then you can't be sure ­— it's just a presumption.

How do you mean?
