Your Definition

Yellow Tube or yellowtubbing, is a term critically used to refer to the current trend in user generated content in YouTube, mostly by partnered members, characterized by formula-based flashy presentations and methods aimed to [quickly] attract viewers with complete disregard to their [intellectual] capacities. Among these:

- begging for subscribers and racing to arbitrary numbers of them.
- misleading video titles typed in all caps, mostly of a tacky sexual nature, and with multiple [exclamation marks]

- references to current celebrity news

- the forceful naming of current popular teen celebrities
- the use of altered video thumbnails with bright colored backgrounds, mostly yellow*, and containing female racks or closed up faces making a grimace.
- Invariably asking the viewers of the video to post comments, to subscribe to the channel, and, unashamedly, to give a positive ratings to the video.
- the unnecessary use of the Video Annotations feature.
- quick video editing cuts.
- the absence of topics of any weight.

They are the visual equivalent of being screeched nonsense in ones ear. It is [attention whoring] stripped from all shame and purpose and rocketed to a whole new level. Two point O, if you wish.
