I unsubscribed out right and banned him on my youtube feed. What a huge let-down. I have not seen the actual video of the end of the game. I didn’t know who the ref was. So when I saw the thumbnail, of course I assumed that Ref Moyer-Gleich was the one who made the bad call (I remember one game where she made an end of game whistle, but I was convinced she was right in that). Good thing I actually opened the video itself, and was confused for a few seconds as I was looking for her in the sideline.
Some commenters argue that this is nothing, but to me it is in the same level as misleading titles of news article.

I would be pissed
Ok
Blatant misogynistic hate bait. Just totally shameless
Some people in the comments really trying to downplay this lmao
First I’ve heard of this channel so mission accomplished I guess
Canât fucking stand this guy. Just more clickbait garbage. What sucks is the guy genuinely has some talent for play design analysis but instead he chooses the Mr. Beast route of just putting giant arrows and red backgrounds in his thumbnails with obviously misleading titles.
What a sexist pos
NBA YouTube is full of these crappy clickbait channels these days.
Good call for bringing attention to this. Extremely piece of shit move. Disappointing that most of the youtube video comments just ignored it.(some did notice though.)
If he was smart, he would have put Scott Foster in the thumbnail instead.
Unfortunately I’ve noticed broadcast commentators also zeroing in on female refs more frequently, more harshly, and by name moreso than they do the male refs. Really disappointing.
Itâs very hard to argue that thatâs not deliberate rage bait for his audience. Clown behavior.
She’s Brie Larson for the NBA YouTubers.
BREAKING NEWS: YouTuber does unethical click bait
This kind of misrepresentation is far too common in internet culture and im glad someone is pointing it out.
sports fans are sexist, more at 6
youtube videos have had clickbait titles and thumbnails for years now so youâre right its similar to misleading article headlines but that has also been a thing for years
they do it because it drives engagement so itâs unlikely to change if its the algorithm now
Itâs clickbait because sheâs a female ref. Pretty disgusting honestly
Clickbait, ragebait, misinformation is super common on YouTube sports channels.
There’s very very few good sports channels on YouTube
Extremely shitty thing to do but this is nothing new this guy always makes low-effort sensationalist videosÂ
Brother, the only reason he used her is because she is attractive and it will make kids want to watch it. YT clickbait is at an all time level.
Never heard of this dude but i just checked out his supposed [store](https://heat-check-shop.fourthwall.com/). Is it not illegal to use a persons likeness for profit? Bro out here selling NBA merch of the stars of the league.
​
Also browsing through his channel it’s NOTHING but clickbait Jesus. Nothing but the sterotypical “and you WONT believe what happens next!” Brother is even using the arrows to point at things. Only thing missing is the Edvard Munch “The Scream” face.
I think it’s to drive engagement. YouTube videos perform better when women are in the thumbnails since men are more likely to click. Still an asshole move though. Saw the same video in my feed and just assumed it was clickbait.
Most clickbait channels will typically find some way to put women in their thumbnails
This is definitely clickbait because she is attractive. Common YouTube strategy.
Youtube with fake news, violence misinformation and another bullshit: ***We are fine with that***
Youtube after 5 seconds of you playing three chords on the guitar: ***Delete the video or you will find about our team of lawyers, and we already called UniversalMusic you piece of shit***
NBA YouTubers are some of the worst with misleading clickbait and thumbnails
Randomly blaming a woman? On youtube? Thats not uncommon sadly lol.
Is this even news at all?
Was this worth a post ? đ
Especially in an age where most people just look at the thumbnail and read the headline instead of watching the whole video
That’s scummy as hell.
Its wild how sexist youtube is these days. From shitheads like the critical drinker who critique female led films far more harshly than men, to sports channels like this. I try to avoid this shit, but their algo pushes it. Recently, even though I haven’t clicked a single one, I’m getting recommended videos like this dudes that are basketball themed but shitting on the WNBA with titles like “NBA player has X # of three pointers, the WNBA’s best – only 4” and such.
Its just really sad that these losers have nothing better to do with their time than try to denigrate successful women who haven’t done a damn thing to deserve that sort of treatment.
I was so confused as well and went back on the video as it did not look like her at all. So ridiculous, mysoginistic and a cheap tactic
DAE women in my basketball game?
Why is this post even allowed lmao
You could make a million posts complaining about the crappy clickbait thumbnails and titles on YouTube from a bunch of different channels
Jesus man this is the biggest example of a first world problem I’ve ever seen lmao why are you so angry at some thumbnail from a random YouTube channel? Lol Dude this isn’t really a problem, just enjoy your life, today is valentine’s day go out with your s.o and enjoy some time together instead of getting all worked up about something so insignificant!! You’ll be a happier person if you let go of these things! Good luck!!
As a chick I simp her
Do you not have the courage to say you think this is sexist cause its not but want to clickbait this thread like they did on the video?
Clickbaitception is a new thing to me
This really got to you huh
Misogynists in sports communities is unfortunately very common
White knight to the rescue!!!!!
Gotta get that sexist rage attention
Women, especially pretty ones like the referee Ashley Moyer-Gleich, will generate more interest and more people will click on the video to watch.
It’s clickbait, but the angle is ‘sex sells’ not ‘sexism’ one like a lot of people in here seem to think it is.
That channel’s just trying to add more misogyny to a very misogynistic community already smh
It was 100% intentional to get the sexiest section of the sports fan crowd to get outraged about this.
Also, sheâs attractive and a female ref, so sheâs going to get hate from just about every angle no matter what she does as a ref while simultaneously getting horny creepy comments too(literally see those about her on this sub before you claim that doesnât happen).
Oh no! A YouTube video thumbnail?! Noooooooooo
Even when I was a kid I don’t think I cared about something as inconsequential as this.
Yeah thatâs obviously pretty bad. In slight relation, on this sub, the consistent backlash towards Doris Burke on this sub is typically filled with cheap misogyny. We can critique her commmentary with rendering it down to her âgaggingâ on other star players.
You have the right to unsubscribe but dont be a baby about it. Like he is the only youtuber with clickbait titles.
