    but I almost didn’t click on it because of the shitty title.

    I mean I cannot know what any given person thinks is a good title. I just find things I find worth sharing and post to comms I think are relevant. It is up to the people here to decide if they care for it. I’ve had lemms ask me for summaries on a 10min video. I can see why they might want one for an hour long, but at a certain point its not up to me to “sales pitch” and I do have other things I’d like to do as well.

    Still I think this is a good video and one that we can share with our loved ones that are not at the level of understanding that we are.

      A good title gives you information about or summarizes the subject. A shitty title hides that information to force people to click to discover what it is, and 99.99% of the time it’s some low-quality crap. I won’t be clicking that video and will never know if it’s good, because just from the title I lost all respect for its creator, whose name I don’t even want to know. Clickbait is a cancerous culture pushed by content farms and predatory engagement algorithms. I refuse to submit to it.
