Both are after the same end result, which is to create revenue. In regards to the videos, people are starting to realize that actually putting "effort" into videos does not correlate to revenue, and quite frankly the opposite's happening. It's easier to create a viewer base by posting over exaggerated videos, click bait titles and thumbnails.

Fake News basically do the same thing. They create click bait article titles to lure views that in turn view advertisements which create revenue for the writers.

Do you hate them? They annoy me, yes. But I don't believe it's really that big of an issue as it's perceived as it's really easy to differentiate fake from real news.
