It’d say the thing that pushes it (“The Worst Product I've Ever Reviewed... For Now”) over the clickbait line is that it doesn’t mention what is being reviewed, so you still have to open the video to learn what that the product in question actually is. Otherwise, yes, it would merely be reasonably hyperbolic.

(The actual review is good though.)

Fair enough. Although I will say that titles seem to work in concert with thumbnails these days (for better or worse). Based on the thumbnail, I knew what it was about before I started watching. Of course, this assumes the viewer was previously aware of what the thing is; anyone who wasn’t wouldn’t be helped by a name either.
