Watchvideo.online relies heavily on clickbait and other social-engineering tactics, to trick unsuspecting visitors into subscribing to its push notifications. The goal of the page is to generate monetary gains for its operators via an unwanted ad campaign. Indeed, users that fall for the page's scheme will start receiving numerous, intrusive advertisements.

It should be noted that some of the untrustworthy pages propagating this tactic could change the fake scenario they show to users, based on certain factors, such as the incoming IP addresses and geolocation of the visitors. On top of that, the page could show several different lure messages. For example, Watchvideo.online pretends that clicking the 'Allow' button will prove that users are not robots, with the obvious impression being that the site is doing a CAPTCHA check. However, at the same time, Watchvideo.online also has been observed to show a message similar to 'Click Allow to close this window.' 

Users also should exercise caution when dealing with the advertisements delivered by such unproven sources. It is quite common for the advertisements to be promoting additional unsafe websites, intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) disguised as legitimate applications, shady online gaming platforms and more.
