Guide: how to use Engagement Bait Detector

"Like if you agree", "comment YES to win", "you won't believe number 7" — YouTube has said publicly that engagement bait is down-ranked, and its systems detect it in titles, thumbnails, descriptions and spoken scripts. Some phrases you would not think of as bait still trip the filters. The Engagement Bait Detector scans your metadata or script, scores the risk, flags each phrase, estimates suppression probability, and gives clean alternatives.
