Also waste 6*10^23 eggs

  Avagadros on Toast
  
  That is the standard unit

Honestly, I don't hate the feature, it somewhat helps with the (YT created) problem of clickbait-y titles. But it hilariously has no understanding of satire that isn't spelled out clearly, exactly as you'd expect.
I've particularly enjoyed it summarizing some of Dunkey's videos, thinking games like "Piglet's Big Game" are proper horror titles. The feature would probably be better with community-driven descriptions, like twitter's community notes. Which would admittedly be even more sarcastic about Dunkey's videos, but at least the author would be in on the gag.
- dearrow is community driven
- I think a lot of the authors dont even mean to be making clickbait.
  Climate Town has "Exxon's $600 Million Dollar Lie", with the description being copy-pasted info about sponsors, how to support the channel, etc. Absolutely nothing to indicate the premise of the video.
  Jack Saint has '"The audience are the REAL monsters."' Similar description, plus chapters.
  These are titles I understand after already having learned what the videos are about, but are unhelpful in conveying what the video is about.
  
  YouTube basically requires you to make clickbait titles to get monitized
  
  Somebody who has a better theory of YouTube than I do can explain why videos often will start off with a more descriptive title and then change to a more vague clickbait title a few hours into existence.

Don't see the problem here. Howtobasic has helped me a ton with random things around the house. Wish I didn't have to throw so much raw meat around to do basic tasks but that's adulthood for you.

If you know "howtobasic" you know that summary wasn't up to par.

Boy oh boy, do I feel enlightened AND refreshed, by that video summary.

For those who don't remember here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvOx7tA_Cv8
- I trusted you, and you betrayed me with a cheap joke. Anyway, here is the actual video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOi4Ao40IYA
  
  I now have no clue which of the two URLs links to a Rick roll.
  
  That was beautiful. I could have sat through all of that and never gotten it if not for the title
  
  I could recognise that link with my eyes tied behind my back
