Comment on You'll never guess the most popular internet country code
hydrospanner@lemmy.world 6 months agoThat’s one way to look at it. Another way is to see it as entertainment trying to get you to watch, not a lecture trying to be concise.
Hmmm what’s worse: giving a video a shitty and misleading title because you’re a dumbass…or giving a video a shitty and misleading title very intentionally because you’ve decided that the content isn’t good enough to draw viewers on it’s own and have therefore decided to deceive people into clicking and watching based on said title?

When have the titles of entertainment ever been about anything but drawing in an audience? Do you also get mad at the title of movie “Who Framed Rodger Rabbit?”, or do movies have a pass? What about “Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?” These are all entertainment that use a question for the title, even if the answers are not the reason to watch this.
